Matt Potter

Member since March 2023 Huntington Beach, United States
Background
Capt. Matt runs trips out of Huntington Beach aboard a 44' Pacifica. These waters are known for Calico Bass, California Sheephead, and Mahi Mahi and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
