Outstanding experience.ย Great communication in the days leading up to the trip.ย Capt. Mike was very personable, easy to talk to, and great with our family.ย Our family had a few with some experience on bigger boats in open water and some with no fishing experience at all, none of us with salt water experience.ย He took the time to show us what to do, helped when help was needed, and answered everyoneโs questions.ย He is a very knowledgeable Captain.ย We were on the fish the entire trip, could not have been better!ย We had dual and triple fish on several times, never a dull moment the entire trip.ย We were doing catch and release due to our vacation schedule, but if we were keeping fish for the freezer we would have limited out on black and red drum.ย Several Catfish in there too.ย Our largest was a 34 lb. black drum that took about 20 minutes to land on a small reel, the fight was amazing, not the kind of fishing we are used to back home.ย
Read some reviews on other charters and Capt. Mattโs that complained about boats amenities, seating and tackle.ย Letโs remember ladies and gents, these are fishing boats your going on, not luxury yachts.ย These boats are built for sport, not lounging.ย If your looking to sit in a lounger and be spoon fed, maybe real fishing isnโt for you.ย Capt. Mattโs boat is a good size boat, seating while traveling to and from the fishing spots comfortably seats 4, you can squeeze 5-6 on the two benches.ย We brought a small cooler with drinks and snacks, that was another seat.ย The boat advertises a toilet, we didnโt need it, so we didnโt see it.ย Tackle was good, more than enough rods for our family of 5, we put out two heavy reels to soak (although not much soaking with how good the bite was) and had 5 small reels in use the entire trip.ย The boat was clean and Capt. Matt continually cleaned up after each catch.ย
Outstanding trip and experience.ย If we are ever vacationing again to Galveston , we will definitely do another trip with Cap. Matt.
