I grew up fishing ponds and lakes in Illinois, I moved to Charleston area 2013, and have been hooked on salt water fishing ever since!! Love getting customers on their first red drum or other species. We will be fishing on my 24 foot Bulls Bay with a 250 Suzuki.

    Lines down, spirits up

    4 Hour Trip (AM)5 adults

    Booked a trip with Captain Matt for a group of 5 of us, and it absolutely exceeded expectations. The energy and vibes on the boat were awesome from start to finish—Matt knows exactly how to keep things fun, relaxed, and engaging for everyone. The highlight of the day was definitely bringing in two sharks, including one massive 4-footer that gave an incredible fight. If you are looking for a charter that delivers both great fishing and an all-around amazing experience, Captain Matt is your guy. We will definitely be booking with him again!

    Thanks Cruz! Had a great time and hope to see you soon

    Hard day but good times.

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore4 adults3 children

    It was a hard day for fishing in the rivers. We caught one little red fish. I have to say though, I didn't see ANYONE catching anything out there at all. So Capt. Matt took us to do some shark fishing and my boys had a blast. Capt Matt when above and beyond his obligation for time to ensure all three of my boys were able to put a shark (or a huge sting ray) in the boat. thanks again Capt Matt. The boys are still talking about the trip!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    Good trip. Catching the shark highlight for kids

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore5 adults2 children

    We had a good start with everyone catching something under the bridge. The grassy areas and docks we visited were not hitting for the next few hours but we moved along after giving each a try. Caught some oysters, a brick, and a few small fish here and there. Then found a red fish hole that was great and hooked 3 sharks, two of which we landed, to end the day. Kids had a good time with the sharks and red fish.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    Thanks James, had a fun time with you and family!

    Great time!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)3 adults2 children

    We had a great time on our first salt water fishing trip. My 11 year old and 8 year old had a blast while Captain Matt did a great job finding us fish on an admittedly unusual day. The highlight was my 11 year old getting the chance to catch a shark! We would definitely recommend this charter!!
