How To Fish Tuna On The Marathon Hump

Welcome aboard as I head offshore aboard on The Falcon to do some solo tuna and mahi fishing on the Marathon Humps! I go over some of my favorite tuna lures and tactics for catching them while in the Florida Keys. Grab your life jackets and hang on, and welcome aboard.

Great video!!

[@marathonsportfishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@michaelnorton1002]

Great, informative video. I appreciate the info. I've been trailering my boat the 6 hour haul for 25 years to Islamorada. This year we're in Marathon. I watch a bunch of Keys RUclipsrs, and your videos are one of the best

[@marathonsportfishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@williamhazard1224]

Good info, thanks. Me and 4 buddies are dragging our boat down to Marathon from Tampa March 16th for a 6-day run fishing the humps. Hoping for weather and a good bite. Cheers

[@marathonsportfishing]

Good Luck! Let me know how you guys do!

[@GmanfromTexas]

Thanks for the tips Capt. can’t wait for the planer video. No idea how and when to use it.

[@marathonsportfishing]

Me neither LOL

[@johndrake5028]

Nice catch That's a good information😊

[@marathonsportfishing]

Thanks for watching

[@davidpegler6774]

Amazing intel thank you!

[@marathonsportfishing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@J.McKnigj1612]

Great video. I'd like to see lots more instructional videos of all kinds of fishing. Do you do much Gulf side fishing?

[@marathonsportfishing]

Sometimes, mostly winter when its windy

[@schultzhsaker20]

Frigates are on the small surface tuna every day out there. Trolling the Hump hasn’t produced good fish in quite a few years. All about live bait and jigging down there if you want to catch 10+ pound tuna.

[@marathonsportfishing]

That can be the case, jigging is fun until the tax man shows up! On occasion there are the schools of large tuna on the hump and you can put the smack down on them on the troll. Have you noticed that happening when your out there?

[@schultzhsaker20]

@@marathonsportfishing I’m sure it happens on the troll but just so much more consistent to get in and out with live bait or jigs. You don’t have to deal with the goof balls either that don’t know how to navigate their boats on the troll.

[@marathonsportfishing]

Yup, the joy of fishing the humps! I do use jigs a lot as well but wanted to do a more basic video as a nuts and bolts. Maybe I'll hit up the jig sometime in the future.

[@bbenack1]

Your guides and reel are on top of the rod. Might be a novice question but why is that?

[@marathonsportfishing]

The rod is a conventional rod vs. a spinning rod.

[@theoutdoorcritic]

I’m surprised you don’t use live bait on the hump

[@marathonsportfishing]

Dont really need to, when you start bombing the bait, the sharks get real heavy.

[@JoseDiaz-yl9sh]

Big wahoos hand out there also

[@marathonsportfishing]

Yes they do, Tuna is probably their favorite food!
