Captain Austin took our family on a very successful fishing trip. We caught blues and Spanish maxkerel which he cleaned for us at the marina. My granddaughters, who are 4 and 6 had a fantastic time reeling in the fish. Best excursion Ive had fishing in this area. Captain Austin is an experienced, patient captain who knows what he’s doing and how to find the fish. We would highly recommend this captain! Julie K.

thanks adam!
Didn’t feel like it was a charter, felt like you were with an old angler buddy! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Even under less than desirable fishing conditions he was able to get us on the fish! Next trip here we will book with Captain Austin again!
Thank you !
Had a great day out on the sound with Austin. He knew where to find the fish and showed us how to find sand dollars on the shoals. Took us on a tour and pointed out things of an interest. Also answered lots of questions from our group.
