Booked a day with Matt for the salmon opener weekend. Leading up to the fishing day, he was responsive to the messages I sent him (typically the same day) and communicated well. On the day of the trip, we were all excited to catch fish, but we know that salmon fishing can be tricky and the CDFW salmon season this year only gave a 2 day window…not much time for captains to find the fish. Matt and his crew were great. They told us they did some pre-scouting the days prior to locate the bait and fish. He takes pride in what he does and the years of experience helps him know where/how to find fish. He worked hard to get us on quality fish and stayed out late to get us limits. One of the best trips I’ve been on and I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to fill the freezer.

Captain Matt and first
mate Vince were awesome!  We did a grandpa-dad-grandson trip so grandson could have his first saltwater fishing experience. What a day!  first we caught our limit in rockfish and ling cod, then we went back in the bay near sausalito and caught a few stingrays, bat rays, and even a couple shark!  it was a great opportunity for grandson to experience a real fighting fish. overall great experience, nearly 10 hours on the water. definitely will return.

We had a party of 5 and the boat was perfect for us all. We all hit our limit. Bait, hooks, reels, and lines were all perfect with no issues througout the trip.

Matt and the Crew were very organized; the boat was clean and operational while equipped with an excellent selection of gear and comfort items.  The care given for the technique of catching Fish, the care provided with the history of the area, and the knowledge of the fishing trends produced an eventful day of catching Fish within the Bay.  This was a great experience that I hope to have again.  Thank you for the memories.

Captain Matthew and his right hand Vincent were so nice! My 5 friends and I were all new to fishing in the ocean and Captain Matthew and Vincent were really good at explaining every step, from **hidden content** bait we are using to how to properly drop the lines into the strike zone.

We booked a 10 hour fishing session but some of use weren’t use to the ocean waters (even though the water wasn’t too bad). We were able to end the trip early at 6 hours but even within that time between the 6 of us (mostly 3 haha due to sea sickness), we were able to catch more than 40 fish, 1 lingcod, 1 vermillion and so many types of rockfish! The Captain was very generous and even bagged up the remaining live anchovies for us to take home. They were absolutely delicious. All the fish was so yummy.

Our 40+ fish were filleted for us to our liking. They even provided ice at the harbor! The snacks were great. Love me some cheetos. 100% I would book with Captain Matthew and the Pamela J Charter again. Good luck with fishing!!!
