Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year.

    Austin was great! He was very patient with my niece and nephew who were novices. He had them casting, jigging, and on fish within 30 minutes of leaving the dock. We caught a bunch of catfish (no keepers) and a couple of nice Redfish. Would definitely book with Austin again.

    I would say that his trip was very exciting and fun, he is a nice and funny guy who knows what he's doing when it comes to fishing. We caught a bunch of different kinds of fish, huge and small. I would say me and my dad had a great time with austin, if you want a learning experience austin is your guy.
