    Half Day with Captain Matt

    4 Hour – Inshore / Nearshore (AM) • 4 adults

    We took a half day out to catch some fish and it could not have gone better. The boat was great, our captain (Matt) kept us safe and comfortable (and dry) during the trip and worked tirelessly to put us on fish. Super friendly, communicative folks. Very flexible and willing to make your trip great. Did an awesome job cleaning our fish and leaving us with a great dinner! Would go again in a heartbeat!

    Half Day Trip with Captain Matt

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Was expecting possibly rain this morning, a text message this morning from Captain Matt assured us we would be ok. Met him at 7:00 and out on the water by 7:10. A little bottom fishing, little trolling action and also a little dolphin show on the way out. Catch of the day, some Black Bass, Sheepshead, Pin Fish. Captain Matt ran a great boat and we enjoyed the trip.
