    Matthew was very professional and helpful! He swiftly took us to the spot and started to advise us in the right direction for the fish. He is a very well seasoned captain and brought us home a ton of reds and trout! Would definitely book again.

    Capt Matt went above and beyond in making this fishing adventure truly memorable for me and the family. He put us on the fish almost immediately. We wound up with over 30 pounds of redfish fillets for the freezer and my son was able to land a 60 pound alligator gar. I would highly recommend Matt as your captain. I cannot wait to go back and book with him again. Thank you, Captain Matt!

    Big tides mean new fish in the bay. There are lots of redfish to go around this fall.

Spring time is one of the best times to fish. The fluctuation of the higher tides and comfortable water temps makes for a solid combination. Fish moving in from the gulf in solid numbers and feeding very aggressively throughout the day. Lets get you booked up and hooked up.
