Awesome guide, very good experience

5 Hour Trip — Jetty6 adults

Captain Matthew gave us an exceptional day on the water. He was very communicative from the start, keeping us updated about possible weather contingencies and giving very detailed instructions to make sure we had a clear picture of everything heading into the trip. We ended up hooking into and landing a giant redfish, a few sheepshead and black drum, as well as a couple of nice speckled trout. Captain Matthew made sure we always had a fresh bait on our hooks and always helped us get fish off/get off snags. Also, there were 6 of us and we all caught fish, with some members of our group not having any prior experience. It was a memorable trip!

    We caught alot of fish and had a blast!

    4 Hour – Inshore Jetty Fishing (PM) • 5 adults • 1 child

    We had a great fishing trip with Matt yesterday fishing the Jettys. My grandson who is 7 and loves fishing had a great time, he caught Spanish Marlin among several other things! Matt also let my grand real in a big red the he had hooked which was a really cool experience for him. As a predominately freshwater fisherman I also had a great time catching some new species that I've never caught as well. We had 3 other members of our family with us and we all had a blast. I highly recommend and I look foward to coming back for the "Shark Hunt" fishing trip in the near future! - Thanks Matt, appreciate it bro.

    Best trip ever

    4 Hour – Inshore Jetty Fishing • 6 adults

    If you're looking for an incredible fishing charter, look no further! We had a group of six, including four kids under 16, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every single person in our group caught at least five fish, and a few of us caught even more! Our captain knew exactly where to go, kept us on the fish all morning, and made sure everyone had an opportunity to reel in plenty of catches. What really set this trip apart was his patience with the kids. He took the time to help them, answer their endless questions, untangle lines, and cheer them on with every catch. He made each of them feel like a pro, and they haven't stopped talking about the trip since. Beyond being an outstanding captain, he was genuinely fun to spend the day with. We loved hearing his stories, learning about the local waters and fishing techniques, and just chatting throughout the trip. His knowledge, professionalism, and great sense of humor made the entire experience even better. If you're considering booking a charter, don't hesitate. Whether you're an experienced angler or it's your first time fishing, you'll have an amazing time. We made incredible memories, caught a ton of fish, and can't wait to book another trip!

    jetty trip

    5 Hour Trip — Jetty • 3 adults

    We had a great jetty fishing trip! The captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. We caught plenty of fish, and he even cleaned, prepped, and bagged our catch for us at the dock. As a bonus, we found a local spot called Huli Huli Hut where they would cook your fresh catch, which made for a fantastic meal. The boat itself shows some wear and tear cosmetically, but the outboards are newer, and the boat handled the weather and waves very well. Any issues were purely cosmetic and did not affect the trip. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely book with them again if we’re back in the area.

    Great family fishing!

    5 Hour Trip — Jetty • 5 adults

    We had a great day with Captain Matthew working several spots on the south Jetty. We got on the fish early and had a wide variety of fish. We pulled in reds, black drum, sheepshead, trout, and even some new fish to us with ribbonfish, ladyfish and a lookdown fish! Capt. Matthew was great to work with, keeping us informed on the fish types, habits and marine info. Great coaching getting my son to finally get the big red into the boat after a couple of missed opportunities!
