Captain Austin grew up charter fishing with his uncle around 2010, where he began working as a mate. He continued working alongside his uncle until he was old enough to obtain his Captain’s License, and he has been running fishing charters ever since. There is nothing Captain Austin enjoys more than putting clients on fish and helping them create unforgettable experiences on the water.
