Great Experience

2 Hour Trip – Sunrise/Sunset3 adults

If you are looking for a knowledgeable captain that can find the fish Max is your guy. My son and buddy each caught 2 4-5lbs bass on our 2 hour trip and a bunch got off because of our poor fishing skills not Maxes. We also saw a bald eagle which was cool being from Canada. Max is a great guy and cares about his fishing clients. I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!

    Great Captain, Great Boat, Great Fishing on the Beautiful SLR

    Half Day Pike Fishing St Lawrence • 1 adult

    Had a great time fishing with Capt. Max. As the Bass Master Elite Tournament was on the SLR this day, it was only appropriate we focused on Smallies, and we had excellent success. We fished rocky shoals mid-river, rocky island points and steep rock drop-offs, all of which were holding nice Smallies. SLR Smallmouth Bass are super strong having to swim against the strong river current their entire lives, so the fight on a medium light fishing rod is truly exciting. I will fish with Capt. Max again.

    Amazing time with Capt Max

    2 Hour Trip – Sunrise/Sunset - 5:30 PM • 2 adults

    Had a fantastic time with Max on the St. Lawrence - very knowledgeable and a perfect captain for my first bass tour experience. Put us on some hogs (even though my 64 year old mother caught the best/biggest one of the day and put me to shame). Will absolutely be reaching back out when i back up here!

    Fantastic Charter!

    2 Hour Trip – Sunrise/Sunset - 5:00 PM • 1 adult

    Had an unreal fishing trip in Florida, easily one of the best experiences I’ve had on the water. Ended up catching a personal best bass, which made the whole day even more memorable. Captain Max was top-notch—super knowledgeable, knew exactly where to go and what to do, and made sure we were always in a good spot to catch fish. On top of that, he was really friendly and easy to talk to, which made the whole trip even better. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience—definitely recommend to anyone looking for an awesome day fishing.

    Incredible day in the water!

    8 Hour Trip – Bass fishing • 1 adult

    Captain Max is one of the most genuine, intelligent people I have ever met. Throughout the entire trip he ensured that myself and my friend were well taken care of. We blew through 8 dozen shiners as he constantly put us on fish. Not one, but 2 PBs were broken. As a photographer as well, he took time out of his day to drive around to different locations looking for wildlife to make the memories even better. I could not recommend Topwater Safari enough, I will 10000% be booking with Max again.

    First fresh water trip in Flordia

    4 Hour Trip – Bass fishing • 2 adults

    I have done salt water charters before this was my first time doing a freshwater charter for bass and it was amazing. we caught bass right away at the first spot and hooked into a few one right after the other on the shiners. Our captain Max was also very knowledgeable about the birds so as my group was catching fish we also got to learn about the different birds around us. No big trophy fish but cant have everything in a fishing trip or it would be a catching trip.
