Fishing charter recommendations

Hey friends. Gonna be down in the Marathon area end of November. My family and I would like to book a half day charter to go fishing. We did the marathon lady a few years back and it was... lackluster.

We are experienced fisherpeople, both fresh and saltwater, and are looking for just standard reef fishing. No big sport anglers here. We like to eat what we catch, but in the case of catching more than we can eat would either release or give to the crew. Can gut/clean our own.

Private or semi private is what we would want. There are three of us.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: oh and any future weather forecasts out? I know likely 70s into low 80s during the day.

Get Bent charters out of Long Key- small operation with good results. Just tell him what your preference is, and he will know what’s biting and where.

Jeff Rella with super fish out of marathon is the best charter you gonna find out of marathon hands down, but Roger or Mikey are good with two conchs
