Captain
Austin Metcalf

Member since December 2022 Holmes Beach, United States
Background
Capt. Austin runs trips out of Palmetto, Florida, aboard a 22ft Bay Boat. These waters are known for Cobia, Snook, Red Snapper, and many more, and he will show you how to catch them. With more than 15 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
Techniques
I love fishing the flats for snook and redfish, there’s nothing like watching all the fish blow up when i chum the waters!
