Best day of fishing I’ve ever had
Full Day Trip on March 10, 2025

I’ve taken multiple day trips with different captains on my travels south and Austin is by far the best. We went out and started catching fish right away and it didn’t stop for hours Austin put us on some big ones too. We caught 3 over 5 pounds and one that almost 7 pounds. It was an amazing experience. Don’t let the hair fool you this guy is the real deal. Can’t wait to book again next year.

Out on the water with Austin
Half Day Trip on August 18, 2025

Very friendly and down to earth made the trip an absolute pleasure! Super knowledgeable and patient. Taught me how to use a bait caster reel and how to tie a Palmer knot! So much more too that I will use the rest of my life. From top water poppin to deep water jigging, he knew how to find the fish! Some of the best fishing I’ve done.
