    Captain Matt is the BEST!

    Kid’s fishing, light tackle 3-hour4 adults2 children

    This probably seems like a planted review but it’s not. We just got back from the best fishing experience of my life. Captain Matt was the best guide you could hope for. He handled my 8 yo and 4 yo boys like only a father could, spoke to my 75 yo father like an expert fisherman and made it look effortless while taking fish off of 4 lines, baiting them with live shrimp, tell my 8 yo about each of the fish we caught, letting him touch the ones he was safe to. I honestly cannot recommend Matthew and his boat more. If you’re looking for a fun fishing trip with kids or without, expert or total beginner you simply will not find a better boat and captain. Do yourself a favor and book him asap if he has a spot because I’m sure he’s going to be all book up soon! - Jordan Walker, Toronto, Canada

    GREAT CAPTAIN, GREAT TRIP

    Kid’s fishing, light tackle 3-hour3 adults1 child

    Matt was the perfect choice for a trip with my eleven and a half year old grandson. He’d never caught a fish in his life and had a Sheepshead in the boat with minutes of stopping. Matt was incredibly kind and patient with him—and had also brought all the GS’s favorite chips! It’s a beautiful boat captained by a real champion of a person. He knows the fish and where to find him. We came home with seven Lane Snappers and a Sheepshead that made an amazing lunch and dinner. A peak experience!

    Terrific interaction with kids and adults.

    Kid’s fishing, light tackle 3-hour6 adults2 children

    Captain Matt was a gracious host and Captain. He explained the days progress and the importance of having a good time. Captain Matt treated the kids very well and knew how to keep them happy and occupied. He constantly was accommodating with bait refills, and to keep everyone fishing. Mom, Dad and children (six and nine) said they had an amazing time. Many different species of fish caught. The new boat was very nice.

What's biting with Captain Matt in Naples

Hurricanes can potentially disrupt fishing as the weather starts to transition towards the fall. Nearshore, you will find King and Spanish Mackerel biting well, with large Bull Reds also in the cards.
