Post by **Wheresthefish** » July 8th, 2004, 6:51 am

I am going to the Florida Key's arround July 18th. Do any of you know of a good guide for offshore; Dolphin etc....? We will be staying in the Marathon area but can travel.

Will be going to Marathon for mini season at the end of the month. The guy I'm going with is from there so I'll ask him and see if he knows anyone.

My buddy said Capt. Jack Carlson is the man to go with. His website is http://www.twoconchs.com/.

Thanks for the fast feedback

When I get back I will let folks know how it goes... A friend was there last week and said the off shore waves were 6 to 9 feet, should be fun

Captain Jack is booked

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Captain Jack recommended Captain Jason Long who also has a 30 foot boat. I will try contacting him.

Capt. Jack Carlson was referred to me when I went dolphin fishing last year. He was booked then as well. I understand he is very good.
I went with a guy named TJ Jones, "Fishing Traditions". He has a 28' center console boat, with twin Yamahas. I was apprehensive to go that deep on that kind of boat, however that changed after we went out.
I've been on a few charters down there, and this was the best one by far. It was like going fishing with a buddy. We slayed the dolphin, and had a great time. He even stayed out longer than the charter was supposed to last, at no extra charge.
His # is 305-294-2812, and his address is 10 Emerald Drive Key West, FL 33040.
I assure you next time I go it will be with him. Tell him Noel Nash referred you, he may or may not remember me. Either way you can't go wrong.
