Snapper fishing trip
We went with Captain Johnny Maddox on a snapper trip and he did not disappoint. Johnny put us on a great catch of fish on a day that wasn't the easiest to fish. We came in with a basket full of snapper when other charters were only bringing in 5-6 fish. I recommend anyone that wants to have a great time catching fish to use Johnny Maddox charters.

Great Day, Great Crew
Brian & Brody - great crew, very informative and fun as heck... They put us on fish, we hauled in a variety of fish and enough keepers for dinner that night A day on the water with my teenage boys is always special, but Brian & Brody made the 'slow' times entertaining. Definitely - recommend these guys.

Alex was a great fishing guide. He was friendly, humorous and very knowledgeable. He took us to some great spots and even kept us dry as a storm approached. This Indiana crew had a great time and went away with some cherished memories and some great tasting fish.

Check winds and understand the time of year you go
Caught good fish excellent captain. Wind blew a gale made it hard to stay in anchor and fish..the captain still made it happen and we are 100 pct.haopy and would absolutely go again. I would just maybe do May or June when typical winds are lighter...we had very tasty results!!!
