great experience!
FULL DAY TRIP on August 9, 20261 adult1 child

our trip couldn’t have been any better. captain matt is such a great guy. he wss incredibly patient and gracious to me and my son and he answered every one of my sons 10,000 questions. matt was upfront with me before we committed that the water has been really warm and that we might not catch a lot of fish, but he assured me that he would try his best. he put us on some good fish right away and we landed a keeper size strip in the first 20 minutes. I appreciated his willingness to try many spots and didn’t just troll with us. the highlight of the trip was hooking into a big striper that my son so desperately wanted to catch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend captain matt to anyone. e

Reported catch:
Striped Bass
Scup (Porgy)

Half Day Trip – Norwalk Islands on September 7, 20254 adults

Extremely accommodating and knowledgeable captain. My group picked one of the coldest and wetter mornings a day you typically would want to reschedule and expect to catch no fish. Within thirty minutes the captain already had us hooked up and fish on boat had a heavy haul by the end of the trip.

Thanks Ben! Turned out to be a good day!

Perfect day
Half Day Trip – Norwalk Islands on August 23, 20252 adults2 children

Had a perfect day catching fish with my young kids. Captain Mat was incredibly communicative before the trip and we caught exactly what he said we would. Caught over 20 fish in just a few hours. Excited to do another trip with Mat soon

My 13-year-old son, his two friends and I had a fantastic fishing trip with Captain Matt. Matt knew just wear to go to find lots of fish and big ones too. We had a great time and will definitely be back!
