Matt Maher

Member since July 2015 Bourne, United States
Background
Growing up, Captain Matt spent his summers on the water. Sport- and commercial fishing has been part of his family for over half a century. Matt was first introduced to the art of fishing by his grandfather and father, who would take him and his brother out fishing every chance they could wether it was casting from the dock in front of their grandparent’s house or on a boat. Both brothers spent the past 15 years commercial and charter fishing, which has given them great knowledge of the waters of the Cape and South Coast. From April to October, they can be found fishing all over the Massachusetts coastline.

Light tackle to get the best fight out of the fish!
