Captain Matt took my spouse and I out this morning. We had such a fun time! Matt is warm and friendly. When we go out again, we’ll get in touch with him. He knew where to fish and taught us a lot about how to catch them. We caught lots of red drum, one too big and several too small, but happily I caught a beauty that was ‘just right.’ We caught and kept sea trout and whiting. And lots of yellow tail and a sheepshead (which we released). Matt brought shrimp; what a treat to fish with live bait! He worked things so we spent a maximum amount of time with our lines in the water catching fish. He ran a third line to hand off when he had a fish on or to switch out when we needed bait or got caught on the oyster beds.

What a great experience my wife and I had on our trip with Captain Matt…He is an awesome Captain, Great fisherman and even Better person! From the moment we stepped on the boat he provided top notch service served with great Southern Hospitality, Conversations and Wit. Plus, we caught a ton of fish and variety of species. Book with Matt, you will not regret it!

Captain Matt was the greatest, didn’t skimp on live bait nor travel distance between fishing spots. We have fished with several backwater charters in Amelia Island and We caught more and larger fish with Captain Matt and took a few fish home for dinner. In closing, he was great and you will not be disappointed.

I arranged this trip as a Father’s Day gift for my husband while on vacation. We had a group of 3 adults. The boat was MORE than adequate to accommodate us. Captain Matt was awesome!!! He clearly knows his stuff, set us on some good fishing spots and worked his tail off baiting. Not only did we CATCH some gorgeous fish but we even hooked a small shark - even though it got away from me. Very neat to hear Matt’s stories and learn more about his passion for this beautiful place and the conservation of our fish friends. We will be back again very soon. Thank you for a fun, educational and entertaining morning. The hospitality was without compare.
