Limit catches, Great memories, and an Outstanding Captain!
4 Hour Trip — Offshore on April 9, 20262 adults2 children

We had an incredible fishing trip with Captain Max and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we got on the water, it was clear how knowledgeable and confident he was even though no one else seemed to be out fishing that day, Captain Max knew exactly where the fish were. He put us on fish right away. We quickly caught our limit of Black Drum and Redfish, and then went on to catch Speckled Trout as well. The action was nonstop. We’ve been on several guided fishing trips before, and this one was by far the most memorable. My two sons were on this trip and Captain Max was incredibly patient and great with them. You can genuinely tell that he loves what he does, and that passion shows in how he runs his trips and interacts with his guests. Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back!

Look no further than Captin Max!
4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on April 3, 20262 adults

We signed up for the offshore trip and boy it did not dissapoint. We headed right out to the big water in hopes to beat the wind and waves for a couple hours. Captin Max put us right on the fish immediately. Within the first hour we had our 3 man limit of Beeliner! We quickly switched out gear and decided to target Red Grouper. Once again we were in the fish within minutes. Pulling up 10 or so in a very short amount of time. At this point we had to head back inland due to hard winds and heavy surf. We made it back into the bay with an hour to spare. So Captin Max set us up with trolling gear to target Spanish Mackerel. By the end of our morning we had enough Mackerel for a 2 man limit! We couldnt be happier with our choice of Charter. Captin Max is super knowledgeable, friendly and fun to be around. Highly recommend to anyone at any skill level. Looking forward to doing this again!

February trip in the bay
Special 4 hour trip for John Wulkan on February 16, 20264 adults

The 4 hour inshore trip with Captain Maximilian was great. From the moment we arrived he made sure that we had a great experience. It was clear he knows the waters and found us some fish. Given that it was winter and the down season for fishing we didn't expect to limit out but we managed to find a couple solid reds and a couple other fish. The sheepshead were stealing our bait but we couldn't manage to get any in the boat. Maximilian did a great job helping my 7 year old get the first and biggest fish of the day which was a joy to watch. I also appreciate that he uses pretty decent light tackle which allows for a better experience. We'll call him up the next time we're in town.

Reported catch:
Redfish

Great trip, good with kids
4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on March 24, 20261 adult1 child

Had a great trip out with Max. my son (12yr) and I went out for the offshore 4 hr trip. Max was fun, helpful and made the trip a really fun experience for us. Highly recommend, great with kids. Understood our priority on keeping kiddo engaged with more catches rather than long waits hoping to hook a big one, and adapted accordingly. Max took us to a few spots as well as some closer to shore, and we had a great time. Caught red snapper, Squirrelfish, Sheephead, Triggerfish and others. Great time and would recommend anytime, especially if you have kids with you.

Reported catch:
Red Snapper

Awesome first time experience offshore
4 Hour Trip — Offshore on July 2, 20264 adults

This was our family‘s first time fishing offshore. From the time the first line dropped we were catching fish one after another. We mostly caught Grouper and Vermilion snapper. Max assisted with everything that was needed. He had preplanned spots where we were guaranteed to catch fish. we also caught trigger fish and red snapper. We would most definitely take another charter with Max. 

Response from Captain

i had a blast fishing with yall! ill be looking forward to the next trip
