Ferg's Guide Service 

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!

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!

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!

The fish weren't biting for anyone (other charters that we talked with in passing that day), we did catch some sharks, plus jack. Austin took us to several places trying his best to find the fish. Very friendly and helpful. Plus in talked with several other boats out fishing trying to find the best location. It seemed like they all together trying to find the sweet locations. We will definitely fish with Austin again when we come back to Daytona and pass his contact on to others to fish with him. Go fish with Austin and his brother.

I caught a 26 3/4” red fish. Shortly after my catch, my teenage son bagged an even larger red fish. Only to have a massive 8+ foot bull shark bit it in half just feet under the water. Austin quickly got bait set up and moments later we had the shark pulling on the 100lb line. It pulled out over 300 yds of line in a couple minutes! I fought that thing with everything I had but its attitude was stronger than the test line. But honestly I’m thankful because it wore me out and I didn’t wanna say I had to give up. lol But it definitely wasn’t a loss! Austin filleted it all and we took it to a restraunt near by and they cooked it up for us. It was the best fish I’ve ever had! This was an epic trip and I’ll be doing it again next time I’m in town. Thanks Austin! You know your stuff!

We had an excellent fishing trip. Austin was our captain for the morning trip and put us on fish. He asked what we were looking for out of the trip and appeared to tailor the trip toward that objective. Ours was to catch and keep enough quality fish for a good meal. Of course we caught more fish than that! Plus saw dolphins and turtles and a manatee. He was knowledgeable and patient, and at the end of the trip cleaned our catch and pointed us in the direction of an excellent restaurant which cooked our catch for us. Can’t say enough nice things and would absolutely fish with him again.

This was the best fishing experience of my life! Austin was an awesome captain. He was very knowledgeable and very patient wih my kids. He knew the spots that would give us constant fish, then he took us to fish the big ones. Man, did he not disappoint. I hooked up on a monster. Nearly a state record, 49 inch Bonnethead Shark. Not only did we land it, but we caught another monster right afterwards. It was a 48 inch Bonnethead Shark. In all, we lost count. We caught so many that we couldn't keep up. Is it worth it? Yes. Would I do it again? Hell yes!

Captain Austin provided an excellent fishing experience! Communication was great. His expertise in local marine life was evident as he guided us to various spots and recommended different baits. Thanks to his knowledge and skill, everyone in our group successfully caught fish, with my sons landing a double catch in a last-minute spot. A bonus to our trip was encountering dolphins multiple times. I highly recommend his services for anyone looking to enjoy a successful and enjoyable fishing excursion.

My brother father and I were in the area from out of town and went out with Cole. We caught mostly red fish but also hooked some flounder and a few other species. Cole did a great job putting us on fish and was very personable and entertaining. I highly recommend fergs service and if we are back in town we will definitely book again.

Put us on our target fish and cought em , great everything in the boat , was there and ready when we got there , had bait before we got on the boat unlike some charters . Cleaned our catch and had a smile every minute of the trip , will definitely call captian Austin when we come back to the area for vacation again
