This was our first time fishing out of Brownsville. It is link cod season and Matt took us to Whidbey Island to fish. His equipment was excellent. His manner was great and we caught our limit. My 90 year-old mother caught the biggest fish which was above the slot limit and we had to put it back. It was a very pleasant trip and we will definitely go with Matt again

The captain was great even though we didn’t catch any of the targeted species( but that’s why they call it fishing) still was able to catch some really cool looking rock bass and flounder and have a really enjoyable time with my son thank you for a great day on the water.

We really appreciated that Matt was able to make suggestions to fish for salmon because they were hot on the day that we went.  His expertise is what made our fishing an amazing day and limits of salmon!!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the Messin’ Around charter! From the time the first lures were cast, we had fish on the line within seconds. We caught so many fish that we lost count. We set out to just fish without worrying about whether we took anything back or not and had so much fun this way. The fish were abundant, captain was skilled, nice & a great host. I’m someone who gets sunburned easily and was thrilled about all of the shade on the boat. Would absolutely book with Captain... More

I’ve arranged trips with Matt for 2 years now and have enjoyed catching ling cod and salmon. We noticed that other boats were not as successful as ours. He also is good company on the boat.
