We had a wonderful trip today and caught 9 king mackeral. Matt and his crew went over above and beyond call of duty . We went further than he normally does to insure we caught fish. My family had a wonderful day. I would highly remember them. Thank you Russell Votoe

Captain Matt worked hard to get us into some fish - the day started off fairly slow (as fishing days sometimes do) but he never gave up...tried a variety of rigs, depths and locations and ultimately we got into a variety of fish in addition to the Kings we were targeting. He is an experienced captain and fisherman, and even on a slower day did everything he could to make sure our family had a great time.
