    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!

    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.

    We had a great time. Matt was early & well prepared for our fishing trip. He knew exactly where the fish were & gave great advice on how to catch them. I highly recommend fishing with Matt!

    Knowledge is Power!

    6 Hour Trip – Artificial Bait on December 8, 2021 • 1 adult

    When thinking about booking a charter, a key factor to consider is local knowledge of the lake, fish, and conditions. In this case Lake Tarpon, Fl., was my location and my target was large mouth bass. Captain Matt was prompt and helpful in getting me dockside. Captain Matt had a game plan for the day as we connect prior to the charter. We elected to not use the live bait tactics to just put fish in the boat. My goal was to learn for Captain Matt on the multitude of different approaches true anglers need to take to be successful in any environment. Caption Matt delivered and I was able to try a bevy of different set-ups. All with the rational associated with each approach. We also hit multiple different locations that required totally different approaches. If you really want to advance you game in the water Captain Matt can help you. I had a great time and we put fish in the boat as well.
