Fishing with Matt on Lake Tarpon - Slow Day but Great Guide
6 Hour Trip – Artificial Bait on March 14, 2024 • 1 adult

I had the pleasure of fishing with Matt on Lake Tarpon in mid-March 2024, and despite the relative absence of bites, Matt was wonderfully attentive and even spent an extra hour on the lake with no charge. I hooked three fish, none of which exceeded 1.5 or two pounds, but I attribute that entirely to a recent weather change/conditions. Matt made every effort to get fish in the boat and was extremely helpful and generous with his time and effort. The slow day was definitely due to the front that had come through, and I'm certain that a future venture with Matt will/would produce more and larger fish. He knows his spots and his stuff.

Captain Matt started just simply pond fishing for Largemouth Bass. The love for pond fishing grew into buying his first boat which led to him being out on the water almost every weekend and some weekdays. He then started to take people out and teach them the ropes of fishing. He loves to teach the younger generation the sport of bass fishing.

    Had a great time, started catching fish on the 3rd cast. Cap Matt was very knowledgeable on the lake and knew where the fish were. Great time will be back again!
