Meet Your Captain
Join Captain Matt King for an unforgettable fishing adventure around Block Island, the striper capital of the world! From May to October, catch striped bass, bluefish, sea bass, fluke, and pelagic species like mahi-mahi and bluefin tuna. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner, Captain Matt guarantees a memorable experience.
The Hula Fleet
The Hula Dog is a 27-foot Shamrock center console powered by an inboard engine. Built for both comfort and serious fishing, the vessel features high gunnels with wraparound padding and a spacious aft deck. Thanks to its open layout, anglers can cast from the bow and move freely around the boat during the trip.
​
Captain Matt also utilizes a specialized flats boat, ideal for fly fishing and sight-casting to striped bass in the shallow waters around Block Island.

The Off Season
Fishing and hunting aren’t just work — they’re a way of life for Captain Matt. When Block Island’s waters cool and the local fish migrate, Matt (along with his loyal dog Lucy) heads to warmer destinations to keep the adventure alive.
In Hawaii, he targets elusive bonefish and hunts deer. Winters find him in Kansas, guiding premier pheasant hunts. He also spends time in Costa Rica chasing big game fish like marlin and sailfish. Wherever the season leads, Matt’s passion never slows down.
