Hudson is known for Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, Tarpon, Sheepshead, Gag Grouper, and more.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board.

Your vessel for the day is a 24’ Gulfshore made by Young Boats that holds up to 5 passengers. Capt. Matthew has rods and reels for you, along with live bait and lures.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Captain Matthew is there a knowledgeable knows plenty of places to get bites and or catch. I only caught three on this trip, but I had quite a few hits and quite a few fights That Got away at the boat. He knows where each different species of fish is that he takes you out to catch. Next time I go out I'm definitely booking with Captain Matthew Blackwater Charters

Captain Matt was knowledgeable and extremely personable. We had a great time, caught some fish and learned a lot about how to fish the area. I would highly recommend his charter.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on May 3, 2025 • 2 adults

My adult son and I fished with Mathew this afternoon. We needed a guide to boat from the gulf, up the canals, and to a property that my son is interested in purchasing. We then proceeded to fish numerous areas picking up a few keepers along the way and having a blast enjoying the day.
