The family is headed to the Florida Keyes this March. We’re staying on Marathon, I’m looking for guidance on a fishing guide in the area. Not looking for Tarpon as I hope to take my young son out with me.

My daughter and I hired Kevin Johnsen from Reel Adventures this past June, he was great and is based out of Marathon.

I have 2 for you Greg Stearn and Reel Mell-o fishing with Troy Mell both in Islamorada
I have been out with Greg a number of times and out with Troy once.
I always fished tarpon with them but I am sure they can put you on other fish as well.
It has been a number of years since I have been down there but I highly recommend either one

There is also a large party fishing boat that goes out of Marathon called the Marathon Lady. They do reef fishing where you are just dropping a line over the side of the boat. I have always caught more fish then I knew what to do with on it. ITs a "cheap alternative" if you are looking for something like that...http://www.fishfloridakeys.com/marathonlady/
