Kent PeardonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Fishing, Great People, Great memories
3/4 Day- Offshore/Wrecks on May 31, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had an incredible experience with Johnnie Maddox Fishing Charters! From the moment we stepped into the boat, the crew made us feel welcome with their great personalities and fantastic sense of humor. They were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly expert fishermen who knew exactly where to find the fish and how to make the most of our time on the water. If you’re looking for a fishing charter with an experienced crew that knows how to put you on fish while making the day enjoyable, I highly recommend Johnnie Maddox Fishing Charters. We can’t wait to book another trip!

3/4 Day Trip - Reef & Wrecks on December 21, 2025 • 3 adultsCaptain Brian and Isaak were amazing. we started early and went for the run and gun, we got a small mahi, a huge bonito and we had an incredible hit that got the drag going nuts, but eventually lost that one! After a bit they got us on yellowtails and we ended up getting our limit. Rip and Johnny were great to work with for the setup of it all, they answered all the questions we had.
