Matt was a great guide, put us straight onto the fish. Really knowledgeable with regards to bait presentation and tackle. Had a great time and recommended Matt to anyone looking for a great fishing experience.

We spent a fantastic afternoon with offshore the lagoon with Matt, who was magnificent with his friendliness, experience and good hand for assisting my son Paul, 13 years, who never got bored in 4 hours. 32 catches, among steenbrass elf and sandshark. I’d recommend anybody to join Matt, especially parents who are looking for a lasting fishing and nature moment for their children or teenagers. Google doesn’t have enough stars to rate Matt and the trip high enough. ✨✨✨

It's been on our boys' wish list for the past two years to catch a fish they could actually bring home and braai, and today that dream finally came true! 🎣🔥 I came across Matt's Facebook page a while ago, but only decided to book a trip these holidays as a gift for my husband to enjoy with our boys. What an unforgettable day! They had the best time, caught so many fish, and there was nothing better than seeing the excitement on their faces as they reeled in fish they could proudly take home for the braai. We've lived in Hermanus for five years, yet this was the first time someone local showed us the right spot, the right bait, and the techniques that made the day about catching fish instead of just waiting for a bite. If you're thinking about booking a fishing trip, I can wholeheartedly recommend Matt. It's such a worthwhile investment to learn from someone with local knowledge, and it made all the difference. Thank you for creating such special memories for our family—we'll definitely be back!

I signed up with Matt for the Off the Beaten Track adventure. We exchanged a few messages beforehand, during which I mentioned that catching a shark was on my bucket list. Based on that, Matt suggested adjusting the plan to increase the chances of making it happen and he absolutely delivered. We crossed the lagoon in a little boat, caught bait together and ended up on practically a private beach to fish. The whole experience was incredible. I managed to catch my shark, along with plenty of Steenbras, and had an amazing time throughout. Matt is very knowledgeable about the area, knows what he's doing when it comes to presenting bait and is even more excited than his guests to be out fishing all day. All in all, it was a fantastic experience. If I ever return to the area, I’ll definitely reach out to Matt again to book another trip.

Absolutely lovely! Matt was calm and easy going. He made us all feel comfortable and relaxed. Fantastic time fishing in the lagoon as a family. Lots of bites and we even got to catch and keep a few for supper with wonderful advice on how to prepare our Elf and stump nose. Others we got to catch and release included Garrick, Catfish and a lost Black tail. Exceeded our expectations.
