I had the pleasure of fishing with Matt on Lake Tarpon in mid-March 2024, and despite the relative absence of bites, Matt was wonderfully attentive and even spent an extra hour on the lake with no charge. I hooked three fish, none of which exceeded 1.5 or two pounds, but I attribute that entirely to a recent weather change/conditions. Matt made every effort to get fish in the boat and was extremely helpful and generous with his time and effort. The slow day was definitely due to the front that had come through, and I’m certain that a future venture with Matt will/would produce more and larger fish. He knows his spots and his stuff.

Weather was ruff, but we still went out, had fun and caught a few…. Captain Matt was professional, instruction and pleasant to spend a guided trip with !!

When thinking about booking a charter, a key factor to consider is local knowledge of the lake, fish, and conditions.  In this case Lake Tarpon, Fl., was my location and my target was large mouth bass. 

Captain Matt was prompt and helpful in getting me dockside.

Captain Matt had a game plan for the day as we connect prior to the charter. 

We elected to not use the live bait tactics to just put fish in the boat.  My goal was to learn for Captain Matt on the multitude of different approaches true anglers need to take to be successful in any environment. 

Caption Matt delivered and I was able to try a bevy of different set-ups.  All with the rational associated with each approach. 

We also hit multiple different locations that required totally different approaches.

If you really want to advance you game in the water Captain Matt can help you.

I had a great time and we put fish in the boat as well.

We had great time and caught some nice fish and we learned a lot about bass fishing from Matt. Very knowledgeable and friendly would highly recommend.
