    We came from Ohio to celebrate my husbands birthday. The men loved having a charter all to themselves to bass fish specfically. They caught some Bass and enjoyed the adventure with Matt!

    Captain Matt was an amazing guide. He was super accommodating and knowledgeable about the catch. My friends came in from out of town and we had an amazing charter. We had fish hooked the entire time and left with over 20 fish to cook and caught 50+. I highly recommend this fishing charter as you will 100% get your moneys worth.

    Great day on the water. Captain Matt is a lifetime local and a professional fisherman. It was too windy to fish near shore so we went in shore fishing. What an awesome time. We killed the trout. All day non stop action. The boat is super fast and smooth. We will definitely be back! Thanks Captain Matt!
