We had our hearts set on catching some fish to bring back to our rental to cook... and we were not disappointed! Captain Matt was very knowledgeable and professional. This was the first time we tried to fish by trolling. He took the time to educate us on the equipment and the environment. We caught a couple that didn't meet legal length requirements, but we caught so many, it didn't matter that we had to release the two back! I would strongly advise you to listen to him when he says take an Uber! We were glad we did when we saw the parking area and how many of the spots were reserved or permit parking. Highly recommend Captain Matt :)
Stephanie and family, thank you, once again for coming out with me and for a great review! I hope you enjoyed your grilled Mahi! till next time, Capt Matt
Together with my son (11 yr old), we were looking for a great fishing morning by hoping to catch some Mahi's since that was his dream. Then, as soon as the fishing session begun... his dream came true! He caught some Mahi's , a black fin tuna and finally big hammer shark was in one hook. We could managed to feel his power and then we released it, safely and healthy. This was a perfect fishing morning managed by the so experienced Capt Matthew. We really appreciate his support and service by sharing the expertise in a children friendly environment into the ship. I fully recommend it. Thanks Capt Matthew for this unforgetable fishing experience. Matias !
Matias, outstanding! thank you very much for a fantastic review and for coming out with me! As you know, I great up fishing with my Father and he was my original introduction and Inspiration to become a full time fisherman. You and your son are building a similar bond and I appreciate that! keep him on the water and one day, he'll return the favor to your grandkids. safe travels going back over seas and till next time, Capt Matt
Fished all my life, but first time fishing south Florida. Brought my 6 year old daughter for her first ocean trip ever. Chose Fish Advisor almost at random the day before our trip. Matt had a clean boat, good gear, but most of all knew how to use them. He shared with us the details about our fishing methods and tactics, which made us feel more informed and invested in the hunt. We hooked, fought, and safely released a beautiful 7 foot sailfish as the highlight of the trip. Matt was quick to shoot a video of the fish, which was really important for me. He was really nice to my daughter, and embellished her with a celebratory “full-blast” ride back to the marina at the conclusion of our trip. We’ll be back. Thanks Matt!
Scott, I really appreciate that you took the time to write such a thorough review! it was awesome hooking up with that sailfish and I know it's a fish that you won't soon forget! it was a pleasure meeting you, your father and your very well behaved daughter. I look forward to meeting you guys again in the near future, captain Matt
Perfect morning fishing with my brothers, even caught a couple Mahi Mahi. Matt was very friendly, and knows his “stuff”! Would recommend him to anyone, beautiful memories, thanks!!!
Gordon and brothers! great to meet y'all this morning and catch a few fish! I appreciate you're generosity and rating. enjoy mahi on the grill! Capt Matt
I was looking for a private fishing charter for 4 people. After making several phone calls, I located Captain Matthew Fann. Matt was a pleasure to deal with and we had a great time. He is friendly and knowledgeable. His 25 years of running charters really shows. We tried different areas until he started catching fish. At the end, he fileted the fish and dropped us off at a restaurant that will cook the fish we caught. Overall, we had a great experience.
Raymond,I truly appreciate such a kind and thorough review! I enjoyed meeting you and your grandchildren and also fishing together. you were all very patient which makes it easier when the fishing is slow, so thank you for that! till next time, capt Matt
