Whether targeting specific species using light tackle fishing or engaging in specialized techniques, Captain Matthew also offers fly fishing trips catering to all types of fish.
Families are welcome to join the adventure, with provisions made for children on board. It’s advisable to inquire about child-sized life vests beforehand, or bring your own if needed. Don’t forget to pack some snacks to keep everyone energized throughout the day!
The fishing adventure begins aboard an 18-foot center console boat, which comfortably accommodates up to three passengers. The vessel is fully equipped with essential fishing gear, including rods, reels, tackle, lures, and flies.
Before embarking, it may be necessary for everyone in your group to purchase a local fishing license. This information is typically available online, or you can consult with the captain. Be aware of any species restrictions or special tags required to ensure a smooth fishing experience.
For a successful trip, remember to bring non-spray sunscreen, sunglasses, and bottled water. While some drinks will be provided, let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is permitted in moderation, but hard liquor and glass bottles are discouraged. Depending on your chosen trip duration, food and light snacks will be available on board.
