    Religious nonsense
    I didn’t realize this is a religious podcast. I tuned in to listen to someone discuss inshore fishing, not religious silliness. if I wanted to hear church talk…I would go to church. There are much better podcasts that have a much less monotone host and don’t have a verse from a fiction book at the end.

    Trout > dumb red fish
    I met Matt at the Matagorda Island trip with the Salty Yak Podcast. He is a great fisherman and crazy about everything redfish. I paddled 9 miles to the island and next year i peddled. Matt decided to get a boat 😂. I really do enjoy listening to podcast and his views of what the redfish are up to, when and where to catch this dumb fish. Even Chris know Trout are better than dumb Reds. See ya at the island. Orlando

    Great Find!
    Found this podcast via the The Salty Yak podcast, and I am glad I did. I am a newbie at saltwater fishing. I like to listen to podcasts with rally experienced anglers like TSY and Bite Me, but there is a lot to learn from anyone who spends time on the water. The bonus is it is also very entertaining!

  • TPB1964
    Awesome Redfish Podcast!
    Excellent podcast for shallow water and marshy area redfish. I have a lot to learn and new to the area but Matt has been super helpful in breaking down all the aspects of finding and catching redfish. Great job of slowly and methodically discussing each aspect. Much appreciated!
  • I LOVE MINCRAFT NOT CIRCLES
    Great information
    Very informative!!! Check out Coastal Creek Charters on Facebook. I am a new captain and wanting to learn about the marsh more. I see birds all the time and pass by. Not now.
  • ARNHTX
    Great new show
    After just a few episodes you’ll feel like Matt is an old friend who wants to make you a better angler.
  • ScubaThib
    Good Information
    Very informative thanks for the information
  • Nubgrubber
    Like sitting around a campfire
    Matt takes us with him and helps us see the story as it develops on the water - like we might do around a campfire with a couple cold ones.

    Redfish fever!!
    Empty Stringers is the best prescription for all of us with that same sickness, Redfish Fever! This guy paints one heckuva picture with his incredible storytelling abilities all while giving an honest fishing report. Tight lines!

    Potential
    This guy is the size of a 7th grader and says um a lot. 5 stars for potential.
