I accidentally stumbled across Capitan Matt’s services when I was scrolling online one night. I checked out the website and couldn’t believe how reasonable the prices were! I booked a half day for my 81 year old dad, 22 year old daughter, and myself. Matthew stayed in contact with me during the time leading up to the trip. Fast forward to the trip. Matt was at the dock waiting for us. At first I was skeptical because I was used to fishing on larger boats. But we rolled with it. His boat was extremely clean. There was plenty of room for our snacks, towels, extra clothes and cooler. The rod and reels were in excellent shape and ready to use. Matt was so polite and helpful during the trip. He put us right where the fish were. My family and I had fun because we were actually casting and reeling ourselves, instead of the traditional ride and 4troll. He was able to put us right on the Bluefish and we quickly got our limit. Then we caught Tuna. I was the only one who did not get a Tuna. He apologized. It definitely was not Matt’s fault. He chased those fish and tried harder than any other captain I’ve had. We then caught Jacks and Spanish Mackerel. When it was time to leave he helped wash the fish and get them in the cooler. We all enjoyed today and I will be booking with Matt again! He talked to us during the whole day like we were life long friends. We had a wonderful time catching fish at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have an awesome day on the water!

With exception of me hooking a good-sized Bluefish (by my standards - around 5 pounds) we struggled to get bites from bigger “keeper” fish.

My dad and I had a great time off the shore, as well as in the sound. We learned how to troll (using fish as a bait), as well as how to gig. We did catch a variety of different kinds of fish (Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Grey Trout, and others I never heard of). Matt was very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend him for a good time.

P.S. with Matt’s help (setting up a trolling line) I did have the experience of catching a Sting Ray in my last half-hour. Thanks Matt, we had a great time today.

Okay….So something unexpected came up & we had to push up the time for our trip but the time change was actually better for us. Then received a text from Capt. Matt that he couldn’t take us out. BUTTTT, He reassured us that he had gotten us schedule with another Great Captain name Will & that we would still have a really awesome trip. So not only was Capt. Will just as great as Matt, we had the BEST TIME EVER! The whole entire day was just perfect & we caught plenty of fish, even a small shark! Matt is the BEST because he was courteous enough to find someone at the last minute to still make it a memorable moment & experience for my fiancé & I.  We will definitely re-book with Matt again & now we have Capt. Will on list as well. They’re both just AWESOMESAUCE! 😃
