FISHING WITH TAD

"I would like to extend an invitation for you to spend a day with me on the water," says Captain Tad. He operates a 26-foot Glacier Bay Catamaran powered by two Yamaha 4-stroke engines. Catamarans are very stable fishing boats and ride through the water much smoother than standard V-hull boats. You will find this gives you a much more comfortable boating experience. Captain Tad furnishes all equipment and no fishing license is required on the boat. Whether you choose to go fishing, diving or lobstering, Captain Tad has over a decade of knowledge and experience on the waters surrounding the middle Florida Keys.

Captain Tad says, "If you bring your own boat, I can show you a few tricks about fishing in our area. We have great fishing and diving year round here in Marathon. I love to fish the Bay wrecks, which produce lots of action. Mangrove Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel, Sharks and Goliath Grouper are abundant. Also I don't want to leave out Cobia, a great fish for the table. If you love Sport Fishing, we catch Dolphin, Sailfish, Tuna and Marlin in the Gulf Stream. For the Deep Dropper on the ocean wrecks, large Grouper, Mutton Snapper and Yellowtail are for you. Let's not forget about the abundant amount of lobster in the bay. Whatever time of year, I will help you target what is biting. So let's get together for a fun fishing day!"

Accommodations

Captain Tad's Place is a two-bedroom, two-bath duplex located right on the water in the city of Key Colony Beach in Marathon Key, Florida. Tad and Susan Grubbs are the on-site owners and operators of this resort location and strive to make sure the rental home is cleaner than any other in the city. Captain Tad's is a full upstairs duplex with a wraparound balcony. The balcony is an ideal site overlooking the water and boats parked at the dock below. A full kitchen is provided with dishwasher and microwave. The living room is a large 17'x 25' area and includes a TV with cable and VCR. The master bedroom has a king-size SelectComfort© bed and a full bath. The second bedroom has a king-size bed plus a twin bed, and an adjacent full bath. All towels, linens and kitchen utensils are supplied.

Outside, there is boat dockage to 40 feet with a large fish-cleaning station right at the dock. You also have the use of a large 6-foot by 10-foot walk-in freezer to store your bait and freeze your catch. On the south side of the building there's a 600 pound ice machine and a new washer and dryer for your convenience. Tad and Susan say, "We want your stay to be the best ever. If there is anything we can do, just ask. We're right here for you."

All of Captain Tad's guests have access to the privileges offered at the Cabana Club of Key Colony. This is a private club located at the end of the street, within easy walking distance.
