Captain Matt Valliere

USCG approved and licensed

Welcome aboard! We have been fishing these local waters for over 25 years. These years were spent paddling homemade canoes and jon boats through the most secluded creeks and estuaries. Countless days spent one-on-one wade fishing for red fish and trout. Those years spent fishing off the beaten path have given us a unique perspective to the fishing experience.

A true professional, you will find the Captain to be a personable, patient guide with an innate ability to effectively communicate with you while on the water. Your experience can be as hands-on as you would like. If you prefer learning the intricacies of rigging techniques, which we can happily share, you will be able to do so. Or we can make the trip as relaxing as possible, taking care of all the preparation while you just sit back and catch some fish.

We specialize in fishing the backwaters of Northeast Florida from fabled St Augustine to "World Famous" Daytona Beach. These secluded areas are home to such species as redfish, snook, tarpon, cobia, and trout. Other local fish caught include flounder, sheepshead, black drum, snapper, and the occasional grouper.

We also will tailor your trip to any fishing style or experience level. Poling the flats sightcasting to redfish with lures or fly. Relaxing on the water soaking baits for fun. Whatever suits your style, we can deliver.
