Hi, my name is Captain Wayne "Matthew" Glass. I am only 27 years old but I have more fishing experience than the majority of guides in the area. A fourth generation Floridian, since the age of four I have fished the waters of Florida from the panhandle to the Florida Keys and endless ponds and mud puddles in between. I have lived and fished in the Venice, Englewood, Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor area my entire life. I am a full-time guide that fishes almost everyday. I truly love to fish and enjoy watching others share the experiences. I am not satisfied until my customers are satisfied and I work strenuously to make sure they are. I enjoy bending rods with serious fisherman as well as mom and the kids. I am here to share my love for the outdoors and to catch fish. My charters typically include custom light tackle fishing and instruction in Southwest Florida. Live bait and/or artificial lure fishing on the flats, in the backcountry, along the beaches and over the reefs and rock piles of the nearshore Gulf are my favorite ways to fish. Fish that are caught using these methods include redfish, snook, tarpon, sea trout, cobia, king mackeral, snapper, grouper, permit, tripletail, flounder, spanish mackeral, black drum, sheepshead, pompano, amberjack, jack crevalle, bluefish, goliath grouper, and sharks. Scenic tours are also available. Wildlife in the area include dolphins, manatees, alligators, roseate spoonbills, pelicans (brown and white), egrets, ospreys, bald eagles, wild hogs, iguanas, and otters. I am a recent graduate of the Florida State University College of Business. My love for the outdoors has sent me in this career direction. Come with me and get MORE BITES for YOUR BUCK!
