Maximus Fishing

Captain Justin took me, my son and a friend out today in hopes of catching some red snapper. Morning started out slow was delayed an hour because of weather. Didn’t take Captain Justin long to put us on some fish. First stop just produced 1 trigger fish so Captain Justin said we need to go farther if we wanted to catch fish and boy did we. Second stop was the magical hole we limited out on red snapper in 30 minutes and caught several nice trigger fish but was unable to keep them because they were not in season. As soon as the bait hit bottom you were reeling in a fish. Also caught several more red snappers but we could only keep 6. We had an awesome trip and it was a blast. Captain Justin sure does know his stuff when it comes to deep sea fishing very knowledgeable. If you are ever in the Destin area and you want to go deep sea fishing give Maximum Fishing a call you want regret it. Thanks Captain Justin for a great day!!!!

Everything was great! We arrived on time, left the dock quickly, we purchased bait to save time ( I highly recommend ) and made the trip 30 miles out. As soon as we dropped the line we caught fish! When they stopped biting, there was no wasted time. Our captain told us to reel up so we could move and find the fish. We hit the limit with red fish and caught a variety of others as well. We even got a large shark! When we got back to the dock our captain fillet all the fish and I didn’t find one bone! I would absolutely recommend this charter!

Great day on the water with a great captain and boat! My 12 year old just started bass fishing a few months ago and had never been offshore. Captain Justin couldn’t have been better with him! He was very patient and helped instruct him all afternoon. He ended up catching 5 of our 6 keeper red snapper. Unfortunately the tax man in the gray suit kept us from getting 3 large snapper to the boat. Mix in a few triggers, a vermillion, and a scamp it was a great day my 12 year old will remember forever.

I’ve chartered at least 7 trips with Justin over the years. He provides a fun, safe and professional experience every time. I’ve caught snappers, groupers, sharks, barracuda, amberjack, tilefish and lots of other species with him. This time, we were after a bucket list species for me, Swordfish. Justin prepared the equipment, bait and everything required for the 70 mile run to the fishing grounds. Unfortunately the fish were not biting, but we still had a blast with the captain knowing that he did everything within his power to put us on the fish. Being a group of experienced anglers, we were fully aware of our catch odds when we booked the trip, and we’re not giving up. Captain was well prepared, and hilarious as always. Though we didn’t get any fish, we did grill some tasty steak 70 miles offshore. We’re already planning a second attempt at the swords with Justin next year

We had a great time on the 6 hour morning trip with Captain Chris on Maximillian. Caught live bait fish and then headed out. Chris worked all morning to dodge building thunderstorms and get us on the fish. Red Snapper, Amberjack, and a 6+ foot Reef Shark snapped the line right at the boat. Awesome trip. Would highly recommend and would book again with Maximus for sure!

Great day of fishing. We were busy all day catching and reeling in fish. Did an 8 hour trip and it was definitely worth it. Caught a wide variety of fish. Went through all 70 bait fish in the bait tank. Better be ready to handle these types of fish. Hard fighting big red snapper and grouper in 150+ of water is no small deal. This boat cranks which is a huge bonus when covering water. More time is spent fishing. Awesome time, we love fish so we’ve got fillets ready to go on the grill. We’ll be back.
