Theres a great kayak launch spot right before 7 mile bridge at 47.5 mm right at Seadogs Marina and where the snorkel boat Starfish is docked. Its small but you could easily put in there and theres also plenty of parking😎
I’ve never seen the kayak lunch pier with the bars to hold onto....very cool! I’ve been to Key West many times but never to Marathon, looks like a nice place to visit.
#7 where you say virtually useless is somewhat a misnomer. True, there are no parking spaces, but it is a decent ramp is launch larger boats. The poor fellow who lives near opposite across the road from the ramp usually has his driveway blocked off with all the big rigs that launch there.
Have you ever seen “Big Moe”? Just watched a Discovery special during Shark Week about the legendary hammerhead that supposedly hangs around the 7-mile bridge. Right in your backyard! 🦈
PARKING TIP! If your license is from out of state, or from outside Monroe County, be extra cautious about where you park. If you are thinking about "boondocking" at Publix or Winn Dixie, you will be chased by law enforcement. Monroe County is very unfriendly to illegal or questionable parking. Outsiders, be wary of parking at the end of a street. I have found, it sometimes is easier to pay for boat launch access. Especially around Marathon.
I also use google maps to scout out spots but most of the time I get to a spot there is way more vegetation than I bargained for and getting to the water is near impossible.
Why the Re-upload ? ..... I enjoyed the first Upload which seemed fine ...... So why the second time around ? ...... Anyways .... Looking forward to some Water Exploring and some Bridge fishing soon ! Cheers !
I’ve been staying at the CoCo plum tennis and beach resort for about hmm 20 plus years , ask Devina the manager there if you can launch from there beach she’s super nice I’ve seen others do it that weren’t staying at the place. I’ve launched my kayak from every conceivable place down there fishing is ahhh ok, We found that going down to MM 16 crossing the road to the gulf side ( good parking on the Atlantic side) with our yaks you can head right out to the back country there’s an unreal creek out there lots of snapper and yellow tail. Big ass Tarpon off the end of CoCo plum drive and CoCo plum beach where the rocks are at I hooked into one there once about 7-8 years ago next stop was Havana I’m a American- Cuban not the other way around lol so the Fidel monster wouldn’t have received me with open arms thus I cut his ass lose besides it was to late in the evening when I hooked him anyways.Own a gheenoe these days so no more Yaking lol lol, go eat at La Niña good ole slop house Cuban food good luck in Marathon.
The three public boat ramps in the City Of Marathon are NOT good places to launch a kayak. The parking is very limited at all three (and hopeless on weekends) and you'll get run over by all the power boats. Stick to the beaches.
How many of you fast forward until you thought you’ll actually see some fishing ! But disappointment set in , when you realize no fishing will be happening in this video lol
The City of Marathon local government sucks for closing off the parking at the Aviation boat ramp, fencing off Sombrero Beach and limiting hours there, and taping off the kayak launch on the Atlantic side that you were at when nothing is wrong with it. A tourist destination that closes off public access what a joke. Notice in that same park the precious dog park is open. Anyway if they open that launch you will have access to the "school flat". I haven't fished there in many years but caught many bones there over the years. The last time I was down went to use that launch and it was closed. Very disappointed.
Florida Keys Wooden Boat Fsihing show that the kayak launched behind the muni bldg (city park) were closed about 2 months ago. Sad to see they have not opened yet.
Good Evening bro we wanna see you Fishing already get everything ready n Go for it

Thanks for the update Steve. Looking forward to some fishing. But, best to scout first.
Ready to see you fishing
God damn it man!! Get to the bit we enjoy the most.........YOU fishing!! 😂🤣
First upload today had me questioning my sanity. Thought maybe I had the fishing Covid. This seems more logical.

Felt like old home week, been coming to Marathon since the seventies. Why not try near Boot Key
that is gorgeous!

Hey about to go down to the keys

Looks like you'll need to set up that motorcycle with a 'yak trailer to get around your local area and actually find parking.
hi. love your block. from SOUTH AFRICA , BUT KNOW YOUR AREA... DONE IT BEORE. KEEP ME UPDATED
Do you ever have concerns about leaving your car for hours parked?

Why re-upload?
The first attempt he accidentally uploaded the wrong video. It was the same one from a few days ago.
Ahhh, fair enough, it happens.
There is no "Marathon Key". Marathon is a town on Key Vaca. Please.

First
Your car's engine sounds like its thrashing. This is not a good sound to have. I foresee an engine replacement in your future.
Oops. Never mind. You are on your bike.
Go fishing already Steve
go fishing plz
Hurry up and fish. Will you? I"m going to start watching those girls in bikinis fishing videos soon.
