Great day
6 Hour Inshore Trip (copy) on March 23, 2025 • 2 adults
Really a fantastic day, started out catching some 35 to 40 pound black drum, if you wanna tug on your line, that’ll do it! Spent some time pitch and shiners for snook caught a bonus flounder and some trout also. Look for Tarpon but they’re not quite in yet will be booking again with him.

2 days on the water with Captain Matthew.
4 Hour Inshore Trip on March 13, 2023 • 3 adults
Captain Matthew is first class! He will put you on fish, then you have to do your part. We spent 10 hours with Captain Matt over two days, he was great with my family and helped us make solid memories on our first inshore fishing trip. Captain Matthew is a great guy, very knowledgeable and someone I highly recommend for your next fishing adventure! We will definitely go out with Captain Matthew again!

6 Hr inshore trip with Capt Matt Newberry
6 Hour Inshore Trip on March 26, 2023 • 2 adults
Capt was organized, professional, friendly, and had several spots planned out for our day. We caught fish at every location and got into some serious quantity and quality in the back half of the trip, including that beautiful hog in the picture. Snook, reds, big jacks, trout and of course a few cats. Great day, would definitely recommend

Captain Matt met us at Fisherman’s Village and we were fighting with 55-pound fish within thirty minutes. Wonderful hard working young man who knows the area intimately. I look forward to another adventure next time I’m back in Florida. Thanks Matt!!!
