area is what keeps things interesting for Captain Cole. From Cobia to Redfish there is always something fun to catch. Alongside the excellent fishing opportunities, there is an abundance of marine wildlife to see, such as Manatees, Porpoises, Sea Turtles, and much more!

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.

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!
