John Solian5.0VerifiedGreat capt. Great trip!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on April 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCan’t say enough good things about Capt. Matt. He was very responsive during the booking. No hassle whatsoever. Capt. Matt provided all the bait and equipment needed. He was very knowledgeable about places and techniques to catch fish. He was very patient with my two young sons. We caught enough speckled trout to eat for dinner. We got up close to dolphins, saw a bull shark, and several rays. Overall a great trip that was well worth it! Highly recommend.
