Had a 10 hour trip with Captain Tyler.  Comfortable boat for the long ride well offshore (25 plus miles).  Captain and Mate Jessie were fun to be with.  We caught our limit plus on red snapper, 16 vermillion snapper, several white snapper and two nice AJs.  This is not a trip for someone who does not want to work for the fish.  Because we were fishing from 150 to 250 feet of water with heavy rods, be prepared to spend a lot of time and energy reeling.  Some of the time we were dropping 24 ounce lead 220 feet deep.  Even without a fish, it is work to reel in.  With a big fish, it requires strong arms and back.  If you want a big physical challenge, this will do it. Spinning tackle seems to be for catching bait even though the vermillion and white snapper would be a lot more fun with heavy spinning tackle. 

We were disappointed in the quality of maintenance of some of the fishing tackle. One Penn reel squeaked every time it was reeled.  A rod used for catching bait was missing the last 2 rod guides which caused the line to get wrapped around the end.

Fishing booker said we would get contacted by the captain a few days before the trip.  We assumed that would be to discuss targeted fish, etc.  This did not happen.  Be clear with the Captain on what you want to do.  We mentioned never catching a wahoo and how that would be nice.  We spent significant time trolling to wahoo although it did not appear that the likelihood of a strike was very high.  That is at least partly our fault but I would have liked to hear that our chance of success was very low. 

Bottom line, if you want to really physically challenge yourself with a chance to catch some big fish (we did boat 2 AJs about 30 lbs each) this is a good trip.  But plan on working for your fish.

I can’t tell you what a great time our whole family had catching fish on the “Nothin Matters”!!! Our girls caught fish every time the line went down (sometimes pulling up 2-3 on the same line) It was non stop fun! Fish were professionally cleaned with wonderful ideas of how to cook or where we could bring them and let the restraunt do all the work! The best part was I caught the biggest Trigger of the day! Fish stories to last until we do it again SOON!

If you’re looking for for the best fishing trip, then this is the one you want. Captain Tyler Brielmayer and First Mate Brent Bigler are the best. Captain Tyler is a wealth of knowledge and will gladly answer any question without hesitation. The Captain takes you for a short bait catching venture, which is very cool. Don’t worry, this will only take a very short time to insure you have plenty of time to fish. Then, you head out to deep water. Our trip started a little rough due to the weather. Once we passed through a small rain storm we started to fish. The first couple of stops were tough because the current was so bad in the deep water that 16oz weights were not heavy enough to keep the line vertical. Both the Captain and First Mate have never seen such strong currents. Once we got to shallower water, it was on. The Captain swore we would not go back in until we had our limit. He was true to his word.  First Mate Brent was the best. 4 people fishing and he kept every one of us in the water fishing even with multiple catches. He works his backside off. The Captain knows how to station keep the boat while your fishing and he will lend a hand when the arises. I highly recommend Nothin Matters fishing charters. You will not be disappointed.

Great trip taking our boys offshore for the first time - Tyler and Jesse did a great job and made it an overall great experience.  Over 40 fish in the boat 👍🏼

Had a great fishing trip, staff and captain did a terrific job, booking trip and finding boat was easy, good communication
