Half day trip with Austin.

My nephew Bradan, my brother in law Jared and myself had a fantastic time!! We caught a lot of fish for a 4 hour trip and Austin was wonderful. I would definitely recommend Fergs to everyone.

    A memory of a lifetime

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore2 adults1 child

    our captain Austin was first class for me and my daughter. He was right on the fish first thing. He actually adjusted his schedule to get us out about a hour earlier to hit the main bite! We caught some massive 33" to 35" snook and red fish as big or bigger. Also flounder with a mixed bag of snappers and grouper with a jack cravel in the mix as well. Our trip is one that will live in my memories for the rest of my life. I would suggest these guys above all the others for there knowledge and willingness to go that extra mile for there clients. Absolutely superb service! Thank you!

    Exceptional Captain and Charter Experience

    Half Day Trip (PM)2 adults

    Capt. Austin made our trip unforgettable! My Mom and I are both inexperienced ocean fishermen, but he made us feel comfortable and confident from the moment we stepped on his clean boat. He was personable, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, putting us on a variety of fish and showing us several great spots throughout the trip. He made it easy for us to learn and enjoy ourselves and even had lots of cold waters for us. If you’re looking to catch some big fish I highly recommend Capt. Austin!

    Great Captain and great trip

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

    We booked last minute with Ferg’s hoping to catch fish and see some of Florida’s waterways. The trip was exactly what we hoped for, caught fish, fished several locations with different species; and as a bonus saw dolphins and manatees. Austin works hard finding and catching fish. We’ll be returning customers!
