    Captain Matt saves the day

    Mid day 5hr near shore (noon) on July 23, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    After a week of poor weather and surf fishing, we braved the elements with Captain Matt. He had extra rain gear, which was a HUUUUGEEE help. We had a successful day, with 8 Blues reeled in...three more escaped to be caught another day! This made my 10yo son's day. He can't wait to go out on a boat trip again. Captain Matt provided good tunes to keep our soggy spirits up between bites, and was so friendly throughout the trip. Thank you Captain Matt!

    Great Trip!!!

    Full Day Trip - Inshore/Nearshore on July 6, 2026 • 2 adults

    A friend and I went on a full day charter with Captain Matt. It was by far the best charter I have ever been on! Captain Matt is a genuinely nice guy and is extremely tentative throughout the entire trip. He put us on fish throughout the entire day. I highly recommend booking a charter with Fish Advisor! Thank you Captain Matt!

    AWESOME TRIP!!

    3 Hour Half Day Trip on July 5, 2026 • 4 adults

    What an awesome trip. Matthew was very down to earth and taught us “first timers” all you need to know! The trip out was very relaxing and spending a few hours reeling in some fish was even better! I would recommend this trip to anyone, excited to come back next year for an even longer trip!

    Mid day 3hr near shore (pm) on June 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    This trip was well worth it. Capt. Matt is a down to earth guy and knows what he’s doing. Not only did we get to experience a beautiful adventure, we ended up hooking into two spanish mackerel. I highly recommend going out with Captain Matt to experience the beautiful trip in the Outer Banks! Thank you!!

    Captain Matt made sure we had a good time

    Sunset fishing quick trip on July 28, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 children

    We did the evening fishing trip. Captain Matt was so good with my grandsons. We caught several and he cleaned them for us so quickly when we got back. We would definitely book with Captain Matt again!

    First time out- can’t wait to go back

    Half Day Inshore Trip - 11:30 AM on June 16, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Matthew is a class act. He was great with my two boys, ages 6 & 10. We came home with a cooler full of fish and a lifetime of memories. Can’t wait to go back out again!

    Captain Mathew was great,

    3 Hour Half Day Trip on July 15, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Weather was great, Captain Mathew interacted well with us. It's not always about the fishing but more importantly the fellowship out there.

Great Freaking Trip
Mid day 5hr near shore (noon) on September 9, 2026 • 2 adults

I want to start by saying I left a five star review for Captain Matt last time I fished with him in early June. This trip was no different. He puts you on the fish. Captain Matt listens to what you want and does his best to get it for you. I listen to his recommendations and I take them. This trip we got mahi, kings, Spanish, false albacore, sharks… I can’t remember what else. He cares, he listens and he delivers. Thanks Captain Matt!

Great Freaking Captain!
Mid day 5hr near shore (noon) on June 4, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Matt is a great captain. He’s accessible and stayed in touch throughout the booking up to the trip. He’ll help you out anyway he can. He pays attention to what you want and tries his best to get it for you. I knew it was going to be rough, but was in a time crunch. He gave me an out, but I went anyway. He handled the boat exceptionally well and got us some fish. In short, he knows what the hell he’s doing and I trust him. Great captain.

Spanish Mackerel & One Bluefish
3 Hour Half Day Trip on August 23, 2026 • 5 adults

Good catch with a decent amount of Spanish Mackerel and one Bluefish, but I think it is time for Capt. Matt to retire or at least take a vacation . All he did was complain the entire trip. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable fisherman but he doesn’t really want you to touch the gear, which doesn’t make for a very hands on experience. Again, he is good fisherman.

Here's to Captain Matt!
Half day near shore on August 18, 2026 • 3 adults

We had an excursion booked for August 18, 2026. Decided on 7am thinking we would beat the heat of the day. That really did not work😊! We caught some Spanish Mackerel soon after we left...fun! Then came the heat...'feels like' temp of 106 degrees and no wind...quite unbearable! Captain Matt however made this trip very enjoyable regardless of ability to catch a lot of fish. He even took us out a little farther to try for a shark or two...swear it was even to hot for the fish! We were able to see a number of dolphins although Captain Matt mentioned he tries to steer clear of them. They are 'fishing' also! I would rate Captain Matt as a very fun, kind and competent Captain and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Captain for this experience!

Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel
