Mahi trip

6 Hour Run & Gun- Mahi,Tuna,Wahoo2 adults

We had a great time for a Father's Day trip with Brian and Cody. The crew worked hard to put us on the fish and make sure that we had a great trip. I would recommend them for anyone looking for a great experience. My only complaint was actually with Fishing Booker and not because of Johnny Maddox. I would think most trips would be shared and Fishing Booker has no option to partially pay for the trip so everyone can pay in advance. That simple fix would help greatly. Luckily the captain was good about splitting the trip on the morning of our trip, but would be nice to have everyone pay in advance through Fishing Booker.

    Another Great Trip

    Half Day – Reef Inshore Gulf (AM) • 2 adults

    For the fifth year in a row we fished with Johnniy Maddox Charters. This was our second charter this year so far. Captain Brian always puts on the fish and Mate Cody has the rods ready for action and is quick to unhook fish and get us rebaited for another hook up. Fishing with these guys is like fishing with a couple of your buddies. This trip we had 15 yellowtails and a mutton. When we got back to the dock Brian and Cody cleaned and filleted the catch ready to go to Lazy Days for a great dinner of fresh fish. Thanks Captain Johnny, Captain Brian, and Cody

    Great Charter on a rough day

    Full Day – Offshore Mahi or Combo • 5 adults • 1 child

    First of we had a great Capt and Mate! they tried there absolute hardest to get out there and find the fish but tough conditions made it impossible. we did mangage to end up with a great bunch of yellow tail for the box. Would recommend this charter for anyone looking to book in this area.

    great afternoon out for the family

    Half Day–Reef/Wreck/Insh/Gulf (PM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    My family of four had a great time out with Captain Brian and first mate Cody. We fished along the grass flats and caught - 15 Mangrove snapper keepers, 1 Bonnethead shark, 1 puffer fish, over a dozen smaller bait fish. The crew were great with my 10 and 6 year old boys. The crew also fileted our snappers, which we then had perfectly cooked at the Key fisheries. We would highly recommend!!

    Great trip!

    8-10hr–BigGame Bluewater Mahi Tuna • 4 adults

    Captain Brian and Cody were great! They worked their butts off and put us on the fish. Brian spotted birds way off multiple times and we capitalized with some Mahi. I would definitely recommend going on this charter if you want to get on the fish.
