Member since August 2022 Punta Gorda, United States
Background
As a local guide born and raised here in southwest Florida, Captain Matt sets a different dynamic for your fishing experience. Understanding local waterways and having generations of experience have curated a unique experience for guests. He looks forward to showing you around the southwest Florida waterways while catching several species of fish!
Techniques
Inshore fishing with live bait is by far my favorite. On a good day we can catch over 50 fish per person. My job as a charter guide is to keep your lines tight and that’s where I make it happen!
