Get Hooked on Fishing with Captain Matt Glass

Captain Matt

I'm Captain Matt Glass, a sixth-generation Floridian and full-time fishing guide based in Englewood, Florida. Since the age of four, I’ve been hooked on fishing, spending my life exploring the waters of the Sunshine State from the Panhandle to the Florida Keys (and just about every pond and mud puddle in between).

For over 35 years, I’ve fished the local waters around Venice, Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor, and the surrounding Gulf Coast. These waters aren’t just where I work; they’re home.

Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to chase big fish or a family wanting a fun day on the water, I tailor every trip to fit your needs. I offer inshore fishing trips, offshore trips up to 9 miles out, and scenic tours that showcase the natural beauty of our coast.

I'm on the water nearly every day, and I truly love what I do. There’s nothing better than watching someone hook into a great fish, especially when it’s their first. Let's get out there and make it a trip to remember.
