“Captain Austin is second to none in terms of expertise and ability to get you on top of some fish. And he was very friendly towards the whole family and showed more patience than even the parents of the kids in our party! Highly recommend!”

Capt. Austin is an awesome guide. We had an Eco Tour booked with “light fishing”. That turned into lots of Spanish and Albacore. We enjoyed it so much we immediately booked a 4 hour fishing trip for two days later. Austin tracked down the best spots and we hauled in a ton of fish. He was patient and gave clear and helpful guidance. Highly recommend, we can’t wait to fish with him again!
