    Half Day with Captain Austin

    Half Day Inshore Trip (AM) on May 18, 2023 • 4 adults

    Our charter was a great time! Captain Austin was polite and great company. Captain Austin took us to so many great spots! Fish were biting the entire time and when/if they slowed down he promptly moved us to another spot with constant biting! He was very attentive to our bait needs never leaving us waiting. The boat was perfect size with a comfy cushioned large seat up front, our boys fell asleep on. He cleaned all our fish back at the dock and even packaged them in ice for us. We will be referring him to all our friends and highly recommend!

    Absolute Monster Day

    Full Day Inshore on February 21, 2023

    Did a full day charter, and Austin did not disappoint had an absolutely phenomenal time. Pulled in a bunch of monsters. When we had four days down here in Florida glad we chose his charter. He was highly recommended to us, and did not disappoint. When we only had one day available for fishing, he was able to still put us on a ton of fish.

Half day trip with Captain Austin
Half Day Inshore Trip (AM) on February 1, 2023 • 2 adults

My wife and I had a great day out on the water catching more fish than we could keep track of! Red grouper, triggerfish and grunts were just some of what we caught in the gulf. He even took the time to introduce us to snook as we came back inland, which were an absolute blast to catch! Austin is knowledgeable and friendly and really made the trip fun, bringing us to the fish "hot spots" right away. We would highly recommend him if you are wanting to fish in this area!
