About Your Trip

With a draft of less then 5" and an all-welded aluminum construction, the Flats Tracker will get you up close and personal with the fish! It's equipped with a 21' Stiffy Hybrid Push Pole that allows the boat to glide quietly right to the fish (as well as a 55lb thrust MinnKota trolling motor upon request and style of fishing) and a 6' Power Pole. The Tracker can hold Captain Matt and one other person, and is perfect for those that want to fly fish or use light tackle and sight fish.

Captain Matt is a very passionate angler who prides himself on making sure that no matter what the circumstances of the day might be, you will still have a great time out on the water. Safety is always the number one priority. Captain Matt is very flexible and is willing to do what it takes to make your dream day on the water a reality!

Captain Matt comes prepared with all the necessary Licensing as well as full insurance coverage, all the necessary bait and tackle for the type of fishing that day as well as iced down coolers with nonalcoholic drinks (water, Gatorade, Soda, etc. depending on what Matt has in stock), and you will only use high quality, well-maintained Shimano and Penn reels paired up with St. Croix, TFO, and Shimano rods. If you want to bring your own gear that's awesome as well! Just let Captain Matt know in the days leading up to your trip.

Five stars warranted. Skilled and personable captain with nice boat and gear, plus the requisite “local knowledge.” Did a half day with trip tailored by the captain to match our specific inshore interests and to maximize fishing time. Had continuous action, and it was fun to see my daughter catch a nice mixed bag of fish species she hadn’t seen. Highly recommend Captain Matt.
