Austin is currently a University of Central Florida graduate and a USCG licensed Captain. He is an avid angler that is entirely devoted to conservation and the local fishing community.

Had a great time out there!

We had an amazing day! Austin was great, we caught fish we didn’t just go fishing! As someone who has never been a fan of fishing I had a great time and actually plan on doing more. The boys loved it. Best part of our vacation they said. Thank you from the Reigel and Renkenburger families. …
Allie
We booked a last minute trip with captain Austin and had an amazing time catching multiple species of fish we had never seen before. Although weather conditions weren’t ideal, captain Austin kept us on the fish and made sure we had a great time. We will definitely be booking a trip with him again next time we are in the area! …

Guide was friendly but fishing was very slow. Wish we had waited for a better day with storms in the forecast. Would be willing to try again but won't ever go.during unsettled weather.
