One of the best days out fishing since I moved to Florida. Day was filled with laughs and tons of fish. Matt is awesome and really knows the spots seriously I fish here all the time and never hit the grand slam like today!!!! We hit everything from large mouth to a rare snake head and even a clown knife and the peacock did not disappoint we smashed them all day every second we were screaming fish on. My girlfriend and son were down from Michigan and had never fished like this before. Matt took the lead and with his knowledge and skill had them screaming fish on with almost every cast. Great day great vibes and I’ll be booking again very soon with clients. Matt your awesome brotha thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt was a phenomenal Captain. No shortage of fish or conversation. At the end of the trip I told him I needed to catch a clown fish. He took us straight to his clown spot and it wasn't 30 seconds later I was fighting a giant clown fish. Awesome trip with a lot of fish and laughter. Definitely will be booking again.
