Night time Tarpon and Snook on April 4, 20261 adult
Fishing with Capt Mathew was an awesome experience! He’s a great dude, and being with him for the trip was an absolute pleasure. He genuinely cares about getting you on fish and making sure you have a great time. You can tell he really knows his stuff and puts in the effort the whole trip. The night trip is super unique and definitely something every angler should have at the top of their list. Shoot him a message if your interested, he’s extremely quick to repsond. Seriously recommend that you check him out!

Absolutely incredible. I worked 13 seasons as a guide and have been around guided fishing and whitewater trips my entire life as a guide or client. Capt. Matthew is in the top tier of those I’ve worked and/or fished with. He’s relentlessly enthusiastic, patient, and knows his fisheries well. If you’re looking for fly fishing in the Tampa Bay Area he’s your go to. The gear he provides is also solid and well maintained.
