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.

    Best trip ever!

    6 Hour Trip – Offshore • 4 adults

    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!

    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.

    if you want a guide that knows his area pick captain Austin, he is very knowledgeable in every species we caught and knows multiple spots if the bite is dead 10/10 would charter with him again

    Booked a trip with Captain Austin and will never book with someone else again. We caught many different species and had plenty of opportunity to catch fish during what is considered the slow season for fishing. Austin went to great lengths to put me and my buddy on some fish. He’s a great captain and a great guy. I’ve had many complaints about other charter captains but not Austin, by far best charter I’ve been on.Would highly recommend, as I said, I will no longer book with anyone else.
