My dad and I had the perfect day with Captain Matt. He was a very respectful man that was very knowledgeable on lake Conroe for Large Mouth Bass fishing. I cannot recommend him enough we 100% will be booking with him again when we come back to Texas. As a group we caught about 30 Large mouth with our top 5 fish being a total bag of 25 pounds. You will not find a better more knowledgeable and more reasonable guide than Captain Matt.
