We had a wonderful experience with Captain Matt and the Lyda Rose crew! We booked a shorter 3 hour charter early in the season to see how our 9 year old would do, and it was the perfect trip for our family. Captain Matt was experienced, personable, and very positive throughout the entire trip. First mate Hayden was also great and very helpful with baiting hooks, casting lines, and making the experience easy and enjoyable for everyone. The boat was spacious, comfortable, and had a nice warm area inside while moving from spot to spot. We had a great time and can't wait to come back for a longer trip. Highly recommend!
We booked this trip for our 10 year old to do some saltwater fishing. we had done the bigger boats where there is 50 or so people on it and you all go for haddock which is fun but we wanted something where he could see different types of fish and fishing. while on the boat with captain Matt we were able to go to 4 different spots and our 10 year old son was ecstatic to catch 4 different species. unfortunately only 1 was one we were allowed to keep worth eating but it was about the catching experience for him. we have already decided to book 1 or 2 more longer trips with captain Matt as our son thought we needed more time fishing to find more fish.
We had an absolute blast aboard the Lyla Rose. Roomy enough to fit 4 anglers comfortably and no problems trolling 3 lines at a time and fishing 4 lines at anchor. Captain worked incredibly hard to keep putting us on what we thought the best locations for the fish would be. Wound up with a nice catch and some good memories for the day. Captain was so easygoing and relaxed and eager to help make the charter the best it could be.
Captain Matthew Cooney was knowledgeable and personable! I purchased the 3 hour inshore trip for my son and nephew’s 13th birthdays and they expressed it was an unforgettable experience! Captain took is to catch bait first and the boys quickly filled the bucket with 20+ mackerel (3-5 per cast)! They both reeled keeper strippers while I enjoyed the ocean breeze, sunshine and picturesque landscapes. This was my first ocean fishing trip and I found it safe, fun and educational! I would highly recommend and hope to return for a longer trip in the near future.
We had a great time fishing with Captain Matt! He showed me how to catch mackerel using a Sabiki rig, and I really enjoyed learning a new technique. His calm, positive demeanor made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. He’s a patient teacher and an excellent captain who makes you feel comfortable on the water. I’d highly recommend Captain Matt and would gladly fish with him again!
