    Great day of fishing!

    4 Hour Trip on April 2, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Austin was patient, helpful, and kind with the two young teen boys with us, coached them on how to bait the hooks, how to keep the fish on and put us on some great fish. He let the boys hand feed the Pelicans left over bait, they loved it! It was a great trip!

    This was a great fishing trip. Caught a bunch of snook, and I reeled in a red drum. Captain was super helpful and answered all questions. Even turned around to let us see some dolphins on the way back to the dock! Highly recommend!

    Spot on good time

    4 Hour Trip on March 16, 2022 • 3 adults

    Capt A. was presented a fishing challenge with tide and early morning cold front but he had us on the first catch within 30 minutes. We fished docks, a sunken wreck, and mangrove flats. Caught 5 different species and one other mystery monster we couldn't get up out of the sunken wreck. Capt was attentive to our needs and skill and made sure we all caught fish. We also saw manatees and dolphins. Checked backwater fishing off my bucket list and pleased to recommend this charter for up to 3 persons. Well done Captain.

Being born and raised in Florida, Captain Austin has always had an obsession with the ocean. After graduating from high school, he decided to take his dream and make it his occupation. As soon as he starts guiding, the captain tries to go above and beyond for his clients to make sure they have the best time!
