Overall, our entire experience with Southwest Shorelines exceeded our expectations. From the planning stage, communications with Capt Matt (before during, and throughout), cleanliness of his boat, quality of gear and bait, to being on time and getting us on the tarpon, there’s not much more we can say. He and his first mate Colin were consistently attentive throughout the several days we fished together. We connected with 12 fish and landed 6, the largest estimated to be 160 lbs. We even had the opportunity to experience a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch on one of our early morning trips. Appreciate all of the memories with my son, it would not be the same without Capt Matt!
Captain Matthew put us on the fish all day. We caught a great Snook on our very first cast and it never stopped! What a day!! We all highly recommend a trip with Captain Matthew. We ended up canceling with another boat to get another day with Captain Matthew! Thanks again!
amazing morning trip, plenty of fish! snook redfish trout. matt was very friendly and knowledgable, put us on fish immediately at each spot we went to. highly recommend. just a great day all around, cant wait for next time!
My wife and I took a quick morning trip with Captain Matt. He was very patient and we were able to boat a number of fish. My wife caught a snook and I got a number of really big speckled trout.
Tom, thank you so much for the awesome review! It was a pleasure spending the morning on the water with you both. Your wife’s snook and those big speckled trout made for a great birthday trip! I really appreciate you choosing Southwest Shorelines and hope to have you back down in Boca Grande again soon.

thank you Alex it was a great trip!
