We had a great time with Capt. Matt. The fishing was tough, but he kept chasing fish and adapting to the changing conditions. He really kept both of my sons occupied and engaged in tying new things. Even when the hooked the structure we were fishing next to. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have a good time on the water

This was a very productive and rewarding outing for two beginner/novice fishing brothers… we had two beautiful days of weather in 75° temperature, a boat that could handle all of the inland waterways with no problem and the myriad of back channels that would confuse anyone, except for our calm and accommodating captain. Matt was just a perfect example of a young man with a lot of knowledge and skill and devotion.  We successfully caught 11 different species of fish, definitely a successful trip, he was very responsive and made the private excursion a wonderful experience

What a great experience ! I took my 3 sons who really wanted to catch “real” fish on our vacation with an added goal of catching something we could eat. Although they love fishing we are more recreational in our fishing knowledge. Captain Matt contacted me prior to our trip and asked what we were hoping to to do. He suggested leaving a little earlier and said we would go after some trout and snook.

We caught several Trout, Snook and a lot more ! His boat was amazing , clean and well equipped. Captain Matt kept things moving and was patient showing all of us some tips and tricks along the way. He knows the area so well and loves what he does. We were catching fish within 15 minutes of being on the water. It was an amazing experience and we will definitely be calling Captain Matt every time we are in the area. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you are not sure if it will be worth the money to have someone take you out take it from a dad with a lot of trying to do my own fishing trips unsuccessfully on my own … it is ! Oh and the fish tacos we made with some of our catch that night were amazing!

The captain is a fine young man! He grew up here and knows the river like the back of his hand! Super friendly! This is the kind of captain and fishing buddy you would seek out! He got us early and stayed out late!
Thanks Matt!

Captain Matt was a great guide. He knew his stuff about fishing and the waterways.  He even extended our time a few hours at no extra charge to see if we could catch some big red drum!! This is the way private charters should be!!
