It was fun but was a little disappointed that we did not catch any sharks as that was the targeted species.

Half Day with Captain Matt
4 Hour – Inshore / Nearshore (AM) on June 6, 20234 adults
We took a half day out to catch some fish and it could not have gone better. The boat was great, our captain (Matt) kept us safe and comfortable (and dry) during the trip and worked tirelessly to put us on fish. Super friendly, communicative folks. Very flexible and willing to make your trip great. Did an awesome job cleaning our fish and leaving us with a great dinner! Would go again in a heartbeat!
