Ava Lynn Fishing Charters is located in Southport and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.
Come aboard with Capt. Matt, whose main priority is to get you on some fish. Expect to use techniques like bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, kite fishing, popping, and spinning. We will be looking for King Mackerel, Dolphin, Cobia, Black Drum, Bluefish, and Grouper, depending on the specific season and the day’s weather.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 35 foot kevlcat sportfish that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat features heat and ac, bathroom, ice box, and all the Tackle and gear you need.
Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the day, and you’re welcome to keep all legal species caught during the trip. Capt. Matt runs trips together with his first mate, who’s there to help you with whatever you may need. Tips are always appreciated for a job well done.

Kids trip (2pm)
Great trip!
Captain Matt and his wife made our son’s whole vacation. He said he hadn’t had this much fun in years! My husband and both boys (13 & 21) loved the boat, fishing, and spending the afternoon together. They did a little inland fishing, then went up the coast for a short distance. It was great to get to experience both in a short 3 hour introductory trip. They only caught one shark, but it was a rather large one, that took them both to reel in. And momma got great pictures and videos sent back since I stayed on land with grandma. (Thanks ❤️). They are already planning yearly fishing with Ava Lynn!

Captain Matt was great!
He shared some great tips and tricks for catching specific fish and made the whole trip both fun and informative. We had great conversations — he’s a genuinely cool guy who kept the vibes easygoing the entire time. He even worked around our schedule when we ran a bit late. Overall, a 10/10 experience — highly recommend!

Half Day Trip (Morning)
Good trip
We signed up for a 6 hour, trip however bad weather did not allow us to go out more than 4-5 miles. But Captain Matt said we could still go and we changed our plans to go in that 4-5 mile range and caught hammerhead shark, spanish mackerel and a blue. It was a good time with the change of plans and the Captain and mate were good people, we had a great time! Would recommend!

Shark fishing
Great communication, really good time had by all
Captain Matt worked with me to find a way to get on the water. A combination of weather and equipment tried to keep us from getting a trip in but he managed to find a way. We went for an evening trip to avoid the heat and it was a great trip with sunset, full moon and some fish on the lines. The kids had a great time and he made sure they were engaged and having fun.
