I have booked 9 trips all over Florida in the last 12 years and this was the best by far! Captain Austin was very knowledgeable and put us on fish very quickly! As soon as the bite would slow down he would make adjustments and get us right back in the game! We brought home a limit of mangrove snapper and still had 3 hours left to go inshore where he put us on big reds and snook! The trip was a blast!
Captain Austin was very knowledgeable and able to put on some fish, we enjoyed our trip and will definitely be back.
We had an outstanding trip with Captain Austin. We caught 12 different species and took home a LOT of fish. Cpt Austin is incredibly knowledgeable, and I attribute our successful trip completely to him. Evey detail was accounted for and we had a great time.
Austin was fantastic! He was very experienced, patient with the kids, and we caught lots of fish. He cleaned all of our fish quickly for us to bring home. Highly recommend this trip, you will not be disappointed.
if you want to have a great fishing experience, i would highly recommend Captin Austin, great guy and very knowledgeable never caught so many fish, we did a half day charter this time, there were 5 of us on ths trip and his boat was perfect for our group

Captain Austin has been fishing since he was 3 years old and got his first boat at only 8 years old. It just felt natural to him. He started with tournaments and switched to guiding fishing trips. He likes spreading his knowledge and experience, letting people who don't get to fish every day to see what they do there in Florida. Likes to show them the scenery and the fish. Captain Austin has very a versatile approach to fishing and he practices different techniques.
