Captain Madden did an amazing job!  The day started out with a good bite in the first spot and then a quick move to a second spot where Captain Chuck got the fish fired up!  We caught so many fish and such a variety of fish, red snapper, mangos, Mingos, scamp, Bonita and more.  It was by far the best charter experience I’ve had in the past 20 years. We had folks in our group of varying ages and experience and Captain Madden took great care of everyone and made sure all had a great time!  We will be back again to fish with Captain Chuck!!

Captain Chuck was very professional from the safety training all the way thru the trip. True conservationist. We caught a variety of fish including a 8ft 300lb bull shark. Of course we released him back. Great day on the water with a great Captain. Would definitely book with him again.

What a great day on the water!! So much fun with captains Chuck and George! Caught our limit on Red snapper and snagged a good amount of other species as well! l Definitely 10/10 would be again with these two!!!!

Did the 6 hour trip with Captain Chuck and WOW he did not disappoint! He was very responsive before the trip had even started and even called 2 days early to help determine what spots would work best for us. On the day of the trip, he had everything ready to go and we set out right on time. We had 4 people in our party and none of us are super comfortable with fishing, but Captain Chuck was always patient and helped teach us everything there was to learn. He worked his butt off to make sure we were always in a great position to catch some fish and he made sure to communicate all the important stuff to keep things running smoothly! We caught so many fish and had such a fun time! Will 1000% be booking with Captain Chuck in the future!

The day could not have gone better.  Capt Chuck Madden was in communication with us for a couple days beforehand watching the weather.  We got a good window a bit later than scheduled (thanks for the flexibility).  Once we got out of the bay, we were on fish…a few bites early on and we moved a couple times, and Chuck had matched his places with the kind of chop we were in.  We hit one of his favorites and we were hitting big fish immediately and it was sustained for some time.  Big fish are what Chuck targets…what we were after and it turned out to be the best day on the water EVER for a couple of 70+ year olds who have been fishing together for 60 years. Big mangrove snapper, some of the biggest red snappers I have ever seen, good sized gag grouper (the grouper and red snapper were not open so we returned them to the water immediately) and a few other species.  You absolutely cannot do better than booking Capt Chuck and his Above the Salt charter.
