Awesome trip, great fish, fantastic crew. Recommend this trip.
Great day in the reef. Little bit of almost everything. Mutton Snapper. Yellowtail Snapper. Mangrove snapper. Cero mackerel. Lane snapper. What a day.
Sorry to post negative but it is the truth.ย We had booked online having never been to Marathon before.ย We purposely booked a larger boat with a cabin to get out of possible weather (predicted) and a head for the 2 females to have privacy if nature called.ย We had booked a captain that had a history of catching.ย What we actually got was a much smaller center council boat since the one we booked had mechanical problems, a relatively inexperienced crew and a captain that was not who we hired. We were charged for the larger boat and captain and were given no discount.ย We caught only 2 fish and were told they werent biting but got back to the dock to see the boat adjacent unloading over 30 the same day.ย Bad experience.ย I blame it on myself.ย I should have cancelled when I saw things were not as expected.ย Buyer beware.

Brian and Crew, Iโm very sorry your fishing trip with Johnny Maddox Charters did not turn out as expected. I tried my best to get you on the water. You saying We pulled โbait and switchโ on you is false brother and inappropriate. Though it is true the boat you had booked with us, our 29โ Topaz had a major mechanical problems.ย I had to put it out of service.ย I sure I contacted you in advance and informed you of the problem with the boat and I would try my best to find a replacement boat for you. Hoping not to disappoint your vacation. I called you back the day before and explained that I had found a 29โ SeaVee center console to use for you. (Saved the day). And It was your choice to go or get a full refund.ย You said yโall would look at the new boat and decide. (Good idea) You and your crew the morning of the trip, debated and decided yes to take the 29 SeaVee even though there was no appropriate potty for the ladies. As far is the crew goes, Capt. Chris and Dylan are my number one guys that fish with me daily. (Seasoned) Unfortunately I had to stay on deck to supervise repairs to my boat. Iโm sure you would do the same.ย As far as the lite catch goes, Iโm sorry itโs a big ocean out there.ย I shouldโve been there. Every boat has a day.ย Truly Sorry!ย Upon you leaving, Iโm sure I offered you some kind of discount on a return trip. Iโll stand good for that!!! Give us another chance we aim to please!

Joe Wieter, thanks for the 1 star review. The windy weather around 20k gave us tough fishing conditions but the crew stuck it out for you guys. Plenty of different fish were caught along with several keepers. Give me another try on a good weather day. Iโll even discount you. Thanks for choosing Johnnymaddox charters.
