Sick of the same old troll around waiting on a bite forever charter beat? Then you've come to the right place. Here we will focus on live bait fishing and using light tackle in most applications.  Everyone can agree that catching a big fish on a light spinning rod is more fun then cranking them in on a giant rod and reel.  There is no deckhand involved and I like the customer to have the most hands on experience possible.  We will target mahi mahi, sailfish, wahoo, tuna, bonita, mackerel, snapper, grouper, amberjack and African pompano just to name a few.  If you have a certain type of fishing you would like to give a shot I'm all about making it happen! Let's go fishing!

    Great trip!

    4hr afternoon on June 5, 2026 • 1 adult

    First off the captian is exactly whar you would expect from some one who makes his living fishing. We caught a few fish right off the bat which slowed down due to all the weeds the captian was having to fight off the lines he worked non stop doing his best to keep lines cleared and ready to catch a fish. He made calls to other captians who also reported that weeds were everywhere and inescapable. Due to the weed problem we changed tactics and were back on fish i had a great trip caught alotnof good fish he was down to earth fun to fish with we had a really good time, if in the area again he will be my go to guy no

    Great 4 hour Trip

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on November 22, 2025 • 1 adult

    I was able to squeeze a 4 hour fishing trip into a recent vacation and booked with Captain Matt. I booked the trip based on his reviews and he lived up to his reputation. Captain Matt is a straightforward, no nonsense fisherman that is good at what he does. Captain Matt was on time, ready to go. He provided live bait that he caught on his own time. He discussed his plan to troll at the start of the trip and to switch over to bottom fishing. After trolling and catching a blackfin tuna, we switched over to bottom fishing. Bottom fishing was really good and it ended being a great day for a 4 hour trip. I had a great time and would highly recommend fishing with Captain Matt. Great local restaurant that cooks your catch too. Book the trip with him already!

    Great vacay experience!

    2hr inshore (mid-day) on July 2, 2026 • 4 adults

    We wanted to book a fishing charter on our last day of our vacation and despite it being very last-minute (literally the night before) Matt was a very gracious host and did his best to find fish in a short timeframe. My teen boys really enjoyed themselves as did I watching all of it! They caught quite a few!

    Fun day Fishing with the kids!

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on January 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 children

    Captain Matt was great! He knew exactly where to take us to catch dinner! We even caught a rare trumpet fish. The weather was a bit difficult but he pivoted really well and everyone got some great catches. He knows what he's doing and it was a great time had by all. I highly recommend using him and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future.

    Excellent Experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on March 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    The boat was clean. Equipment was well maintained. Matt supplied excelent bait and loure's. Captain Matt was knowledgeable and friendly. I'd say this was a five star charter experience for our family. Matt put us on the fish and we caught plenty! I will definitely recommend Matt with All good Charters and I will be booking with him again.

    Great trip and a lovely Tuna

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore (AM) on February 18, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Matt was super knowledgeable and friendly. He gave 100% effort - we moved spots and tried different techniques until we found fish. We caught a really nice tuna, and he even recommended a nearby restaurant that cooked it perfectly. Ended up being an amazing lunch. It was a wonderful day out on the water.
