"Every time I go fishing with Captain Matthew Beech it turns into an amazing adventure. He knows where the fish are and how to catch them. I have been fishing with him by myself, with my father, friends and also my three boys. Captain Beech provides an incredible fishing experience to everyone no matter what age group or fishing ability is on his boat. Each of my boys caught the biggest fish of their life because of him and that trip is one of their best memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Captain Matthew Beech at Captain Longbeard Fishing Adventures."
