Book your next trip with Reelin In Faith Fishing and find out what you're missing in Daytona Beach. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Matt can tell you all about the local fishery.
These waters are home to Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Ladyfish, Bluefish, Pompano, Black Drum, Mangrove Snapper, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, and more with any luck. On the day of your trip you're likely to spin using light tackle.
Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also remember to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
Capt. Matt operates a 22' Sundance bay boat with capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
It's always wise to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Cruise and Fish on July 29, 2025
Surprised my long time girlfriend with this 2 hour outing with Captain Matt. I’m not really into fishing but my girl likes it and never gets to go. When we arrived Captain Matt asked me what we wanted to fish for and I said the bigger the better for her lol. I hooked the first fish and fought it for five minutes and turned it over to her lol. Captain Matt didn’t disappoint every fish she caught which was 7 total in 2 hours. The Red drums was all between 15-20lbs! Just what the doctor ordered! Highly recommend Captain Matt! Thanks for time and knowledge! Bobby from Ohio

2hr Trip AM (KIDS FISH FREE) on July 3, 2025
Captain Matt was a great person and had us on fish all day! We were almost 30 mins late due to us having the wrong address. Matt was understanding and waited for us patiently. His boat was clean and organized. Also he helped us with what ever we needed. He baited hooks if we needed or casted if we needed. If we felt comfortable casting and baiting he trusted us with his equipment to do it ourselves. I highly recommend him and I will be scheduling another fishing trip with him for years to come. Thank you Matt!!!

Night Trip on August 11, 2025
We had a great time with Captain Matt. We did the night fishing trip and it was amazing. Matt is very good with kids and put them on fish. We caught Mangrove Snapper, Speckled Trout, and a few catfish too. All in all great time and I can’t say enough good things about Captain Matt. We will be booking again with Matt in the future 100%

Half Day Trip Evening on March 11, 2025
This was a very productive and rewarding outing for two beginner/novice fishing brothers… we had two beautiful days of weather in 75° temperature, a boat that could handle all of the inland waterways with no problem and the myriad of back channels that would confuse anyone, except for our calm and accommodating captain. Matt was just a perfect example of a young man with a lot of knowledge and skill and devotion. We successfully caught 11 different species of fish, definitely a successful trip, he was very responsive and made the private excursion a wonderful experience

With two decades of experience on the waters around Daytona Beach, Captain Matt Maddox is an expert in getting you to the hottest inshore bite. It was his father that got him into fishing, so Capt. Matt decided to follow in his dad's footsteps and run charters for a living. Nothing beats the feeling of being on the water and hearing that reel scream with a hefty catch on the other side.
