Capt. Matt started fishing before he could walk. He began actively fishing with his Dad at the age of 5 and hasn't stopped since then! He has traveled across the Eastern Seaboard, the Gulf of Mexico and all over the Caribbean, fishing both the Saltwater Flats and offshore.

1/2 Day Nearshore trip- little man was awesome. He learned that fish pull hard! Lane Snappers, Red Snappers, Gag Grouper(single 15+ pounds), and broke off on sharks and barracuda’s due to light tackle fishing!

They asked to catch - They Recieved

What was supposed to be an inshore trip, but I realized after discussions, a nearshore trip was better suited and it paid off! Started with Mangrove Snappers, Porgy’s and Grunts- followed by getting broke off kn AJ’s and a Goliath. Then onto catch a Shark, because thats what excited them. And finally got kne to answer and pulled us around.

Morning Bite still is the best

Nearshore trips can be a lot of fun. Earlier the better as the fish slow their bite by mid morning. Several species can be caught. Snappers, Groupers, Sharks and more.

Work out on the wrecks

Jul 6, 2017 • Edgewater
We had a great day. Kept turning on the outdoor A/C going from spot to spot. Catching at each spot were a plethora of fish. Using light tackle and targeting big fish make for a great work out session. Calm seas and willingness to venture is rewarding to say the least.
