Bud N' Mary's Fishing Marina

Status: published

Bud N' Mary's Fishing Marina has been a cornerstone of Keys fishing for over two decades, built on the expertise of 26 professional captains and guides who collectively cover every fishing discipline — backcountry sight-casting for tarpon and permit, offshore trolling for sailfish and mahi-mahi, reef fishing for snapper and grouper, and fly-fishing instruction across flats and creeks. The operation rotates seasonally, targeting pelagic powerhouses like mahi-mahi and wahoo in spring and summer, shifting to sailfish and cooler-water species in fall and winter, while tarpon and permit remain available year-round. From novice anglers to tournament competitors, the marina's depth of talent ensures a matched captain and strategy for every angler's goals and experience level.

  "fishingSeasonsNarrative": "My guiding year in the Florida Keys is a dynamic dance with the seasons, each offering a unique flavor of fishing. The spring and summer months, from April through September, are prime time for the pelagic powerhouses like Mahi Mahi, while the nearshore and backcountry waters teem with Tarpon and Permit. As the year winds down into fall and winter, the focus shifts to species like Sailfish, which thrive in the cooler, nutrient-rich waters, and the ever-present Snappers and Groupers on the reefs. My operation runs year-round, ensuring that no matter when you visit, there's an incredible fishing experience waiting.",
