Matt Simon

Member since July 2020 Mount Pleasant, United States
Background
Captain Matt has been fishing in the area for years and there's no type of fish he has not caught yet. His favorite types of fishing are inshore fishing for bull red drum and offshore bottom fishing/jigging for Grouper and Snapper. However, his most favorite is live baiting for Blackfin Tuna and other pelagics.
Techniques
Simon Says is all about the bait. If you have the right bait, you’ll catch the right fish. Live baiting for tuna and king mackerel is one of our favorite techniques. Inshore we love to use live shrimp and menhaden for various species like redfish and flounder. Also bottom fishing for grouper and snapper as well as triggerfish and more!
