I accidentally stumbled across Capitan Matt’s services when I was scrolling online one night. I checked out the website and couldn’t believe how reasonable the prices were! I booked a half day for my 81 year old dad, 22 year old daughter, and myself. Matthew stayed in contact with me during the time leading up to the trip. Fast forward to the trip. Matt was at the dock waiting for us. At first I was skeptical because I was used to fishing on larger boats. But we rolled with it. His boat was extremely clean. There was plenty of room for our snacks, towels, extra clothes and cooler. The rod and reels were in excellent shape and ready to use. Matt was so polite and helpful during the trip. He put us right where the fish were. My family and I had fun because we were actually casting and reeling ourselves, instead of the traditional ride and 4troll. He was able to put us right on the Bluefish and we quickly got our limit. Then we caught Tuna. I was the only one who did not get a Tuna. He apologized. It definitely was not Matt’s fault. He chased those fish and tried harder than any other captain I’ve had. We then caught Jacks and Spanish Mackerel. When it was time to leave he helped wash the fish and get them in the cooler. We all enjoyed today and I will be booking with Matt again! He talked to us during the whole day like we were life long friends. We had a wonderful time catching fish at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have an awesome day on the water!

With exception of me hooking a good-sized Bluefish (by my standards - around 5 pounds) we struggled to get bites from bigger “keeper” fish.

My dad and I had a great time off the shore, as well as in the sound. We learned how to troll (using fish as a bait), as well as how to gig. We did catch a variety of different kinds of fish (Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Grey Trout, and others I never heard of). Matt was very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend him for a good time.

P.S. with Matt’s help (setting up a trolling line) I did have the experience of catching a Sting Ray in my last half-hour. Thanks Matt, we had a great time today.

We had a wonderful day out on the sea. We saw wild horses, Sand Dollar Island (even found a few to take home!) We went to the light house and then had a little time to fish It was a wonderful day! .Only thing I’d change is to book a longer adventure as my son really wanted to fish more. Thankfully Captain Matt caught one and gave it to Kahner so he didn’t go home empty handed! Thank you for everything Matt We had a fantastic time! ” If you Love what you do—- You never work a day in your life!”
Thanks again Amber & Toby Sparks

Captain Matt was wonderful. This was my son’s first ocean trip and it could not have been better. Matt was great with him and took his time to teach him techniques. He seemed to know the best spots and he caught a lot of fish. My son said that it was the best time he has ever had on vacation. Overall great experience.

I hadn’t been on a boat in close to 40 years and before knew it I was throwing lures at running Spanish mackerel from the bow. The boat was rock solid and Captain Matt has an eye for finding fish. He also had a few spots that turned up red drum. Had a blast.
