We had our hearts set on catching some fish to bring back to our rental to cook… and we were not disappointed! Captain Matt was very knowledgeable and professional. This was the first time we tried to fish by trolling. He took the time to educate us on the equipment and the environment. We caught a couple that didn’t meet legal length requirements, but we caught so many, it didn’t matter that we had to release the two back! I would strongly advise you to listen to him when he says take an... More

Together with my son (11 yr old), we were looking for a great fishing morning by hoping to catch some Mahi’s since that was his dream. Then, as soon as the fishing session begun… his dream came true! He caught some Mahi’s , a black fin tuna and finally big hammer shark was in one hook. We could managed to feel his power and then we released it, safely and healthy. This was a perfect fishing morning managed by the so experienced Capt Matthew. We really appreciate his support and service... More

I was looking for a private fishing charter for 4 people. After making several phone calls, I located Captain Matthew Fann. Matt was a pleasure to deal with and we had a great time. He is friendly and knowledgeable. His 25 years of running charters really shows. We tried different areas until he started catching fish. At the end, he fileted the fish and dropped us off at a restaurant that will cook the fish we caught. Overall, we had a great experience.

Fished all my life, but first time fishing south Florida. Brought my 6 year old daughter for her first ocean trip ever. Chose Fish Advisor almost at random the day before our trip. Matt had a clean boat, good gear, but most of all knew how to use them. He shared with us the details about our fishing methods and tactics, which made us feel more informed and invested in the hunt. We hooked, fought, and safely released a beautiful 7 foot sailfish as the highlight of the trip. Matt was quick to... More

Thank you Captain Matt for the fantastic fishing trip with my son and I. This was only his second time fishing and you gave him a memory that will last a lifetime. The Fish Advisor was in immaculate condition, and Matt’s entire operation is first class. Not only was Matt very personable and engaging (we had a great conversation on a number of different topics during the trip) but I learned more about open water/deep sea fishing on the four hour charter than I have in over fifty years of...
