Matt has a spotless boat that is almost new and he keeps it in great shape. The stripers have been really slow this August, but Matt worked really hard to coax them to hit, we landed one nice 33” and missed some other swirls. He worked overtime to get results, great captain.
We went for a late-season 6 AM inshore halfday trip. While the stripers did bite but evaded getting reeled in, the kids caught mackerel aplenty. And any Atlantic sunrise on the water makes the boat ride alone worthwhile. Captain Matt was fantastic with the kids - they learned a lot. We will be back for sure!
Our trip was a logistic success with on-time departure, well-equipped boat, and knowledgeable captain. We caught plenty of mackerel for bait early in the trip and marked several fish during the morning in a cove and later while trawling along a beach; however, we were able to hook only one striper. Falling tide during most of the morning may have contributed to low activity. So...good trip with boat/equipment/captain but not much action from the fish.
been on a lot of charters, Matt keeps his boat immaculate. started the day on the mackerel right off the bat. only problem we had was finding fish small enough to keep.. which is a problem ill happily accept every time out.
Captain Matt was very friendly and knowledgeable. Although the bite was slow he worked hard to put us on the fish and was able to land a couple striped bass.
Location and parking were super easy and hassle-free. We started the trip by catching plenty of mackerel for bait. Despite a recent storm making striped bass harder to find, Captain Matt went above and beyond, even extending our trip. We caught multiple keeper striped bass, and he cleaned the fish for us. The boat and bathrooms were spotless. Overall, a 10/10 experience—would definitely book again and highly recommend Slack Tide Chart
