Captain Matt has been fishing ever since he could walk. There is nothing else he takes as much pride in as fishing. Matt and his crew will put you on the fish. His 26-foot Twin Vee will get you to the fishing grounds and back in a timely fashion, while staying comfortable and safe. While his inshore skiff will easily take you in the shallow calm waters. Matt and his crew live and breathe fishing.

**First Mate** Walker has been fishing the South Carolina waters for years. He specializes in all types of fishing, especially live bait fishing. Fishing is his passion. Being in college and wanting a life surrounded by boats, he is no stranger to the ocean.

**First Mate** Noah has experience fishing all over the country. Seasoned in bottom fishing and northeast coast style fishing, Tony brings his knowledge to the SC and is more than qualified to put fish in the boat.

Captain Matt was a great guide. He had a very clean boat and was willing to teach some of us inexperienced fishers. He was courteous and friendly throughout the trip. The boat ride allowed us to see other parts of South Carolina we would not see otherwise. He was kind enough to rescheduled us when our original date was going to have terrible weather.

Captain Matt was a great guide. He had a very clean boat and was willing to teach some of us inexperienced fishers. He was courteous and friendly throughout the trip. The boat ride allowed us to see other parts of South Carolina we would not see otherwise. He was kind enough to rescheduled us when our original date was going to have terrible weather. Captain Matt also made sure we caught fish during our fishing trip. He tried different ways of fishing to catch them given the weather. We were able to catch enough fish to then head to Water's Edge where they cooked our fish for us for dinner. He helped us find restaurants nearby where we could do this. Overall, a wonderful experience with Captain Matt. We highly recommend booking with him.

We had a great experience with Captain Walker. He took us to several different spots and should a lot of patience as well as shared great tips. Would definitely book another trip with him.

I went on a 6 hour inshore/shark fishing trip with my 16 year old son and we both had a blast! We've done a lot of offshore fishing before but never inshore. Our boat Captain Walker knew exactly where to find the fish and was an all around just a great guy. We're considering booking another short shark fishing trip before we leave. Can't recommend these guys enough! We drive down here often to visit...
