Indian River Lagoon

Capt. Thomas DiMatteo

Thomas DiMatteo is a lifelong Floridan with a passion for exploring and educating about Florida's natural wildlife and fisheries. After growing up on and spending most of his time exploring south Florida's many waterways and natural areas Thomas found himself at home in the Florida Keys where he specialized in Fly and light tackle flats and backcountry fishing for permit, bonefish, tarpon, snook, redfish, and other elusive species.

After becoming a husband and a father in 2016, Thomas relocated back up the east coast to where he currently resides in Sebastian, Fl. Over the past 9+ years Thomas has become a prolific fly and light tackle fishing guide on the Indian River Lagoon as well as the famously unknown, loxahatchee river in Jupiter, Fl where he guides clients down one of Florida’s only Federally protected, wild and scenic rivers, in search of common, fat and sword-spine snook, as well as tarpon, black bass and other euryhaline species

When he is not on the water you can find him with his daughter Lilah at the park in downtown Vero or enjoying the waves at Sebastian beach.
