Capt. Austin runs trips out of Palmetto, Florida, aboard a 22ft Bay Boat. These waters are known for Cobia, Snook, Red Snapper, and many more, and he will show you how to catch them. With more than 20 years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
