theres never a guarantee when it comes to fishing, but the right boat, tackle and captain certainly help.  My son and I were fortunate enough to both catch nice Tarpon, but couldnt have done that without John, our captain.. he went out if his way to make sure we were in the right spot at the right time.  An amazing experience i got to share with my son.

I try to do all kinds of fishing when i travel and this trip was one that i will always remember.  Had a blast tarpon fishing and John was an amazing guide.  We had bites starting within 10 minutes of leaving the docks and one of the best fights i’ve ever experienced.  Tarpon fishing with Callion is a must do when in the keys.

Fishing with Captain John was the biggest highlight of our 10 day vacation! He worked hard and got us on tarpon. One that my husband got right up to the boat was being chased by a hammerhead shark right at the boat! Captain had to cut out off so it might have a chance to get away. I think we had 7 tarpon on, got 3 to the boat and one giant grouper. I will book him again in a heartbeat if we’re back this way. Thanks for an awesome experience!

Even with poor weather and murky water, we had a great trip and caught plenty of fish. Captain John put in a lot of effort to make sure we had a good trip despite bad conditions, and we really appreciated it.  My teenage sons really liked catching a variety of fish, even a monster barracuda!

We had a cold front come through but that didn’t stop John from putting us on the fish. Every drop we were either catching them or feeding them.  Many new species boated including a Goliath Grouper. John is very knowledgeable and is great with kids,  I would recommend anyone coming to Marathon to book with him.
