Step aboard a sleek, shallow-draft skiff for an up-close, adrenaline-pumping eco trip across crystal-clear flats and skinny waters. This is not your average fishing trip — we're stalking the fish we see. Whether it's tailing reds pushing wakes across the shallows or speckled trout flashing through the grass, you're in the action from start to finish.

Perfect for solo anglers looking for a personal and focused experience, this intimate one-person charter gives you a front-row seat to the thrill of sight-casting in inches of water. With limited space and minimal footprint, we can quietly hunt fish without spooking them — just you, the guide, and the fish.

    Best fishing experience ever

    5 Hour Trip (PM) Ray Roberts on June 30, 2020

    Coming from Miami, I have done my fair share of fishing but this is by far the best time I had. We caught over 100 fish. I wouldn't believe it if I was you either but we did. Austin then took us to a spot where I caught my biggest personal best large mouth. I am very thankful for this experience. I had family come in to town and I wanted to give him an awesome experience. If you don't go with this dude, all I can say is "I told you so!"

AM trip with Austin
5 Hour Trip (AM) Lake Ray Roberts on June 27, 2021 • 2 adults

Awesome trip. We went to Lake Lewisville for some early morning fishing. Austin was great and really helped make it a fun and enjoyable experience. The boat was a great surprise as it was built for ocean sport fishing so it was spacious and powerful. He was intent on us finding some great spot to fish so we kept moving from place to place. It was awesome to have someone do dedicated to making the experience great. Definitely would recommend Austin.

4 Hour Trip – Laguna Madre (AM) on May 16, 2020

Austin is spot on when it comes to finding and catching some fish! Literally all I did was real them in and enjoy the fish fighting back, he did the rest. Very relaxing experience for my friends and I. Austin is down to earth and made us all feel very welcome. I’ll be booking again soon!
