About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Austin and prepare for a memorable day of fishing the Florida Atlantic inshore waters! The Daytona Beach inshore and near shore waters are perfect areas to enjoy beautiful scenery and catch some prime fish that Florida is known for without going too far from the dock. Half Day 4 hour trips leave at 7:00 am and 1:00 pm while 3/4 day 6 hour trips only leave in the morning.

On this half or 3/4 day trip, Captain Austin will take you from Port Orange out to the inlets, intracoastal waters, beaches, and nearshore reefs, where you can expect to target Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Sheepshead, Snook, Mangrove Snapper, Pompano and the elusive Tarpon. Captain Austin is equipped to use a variety of methods to attract these fish including live baiting, drifting and ‘spot locking’ with a gps trolling motor. Just let Captain Austin know what you want to catch and he'll get you set up with the best method! Whether you're a beginner or an advanced angler, Captain Austin will have plenty of helpful tips to help you get one on the line.

You'll be fishing aboard a 22’ Pathfinder bay boat with a capacity for 4 people. Its 200 HP Yamaha V6 engine will let you bounce between prime fishing spots all over the inshore area with ease! It comes with the essentials such as GPS, Fishfinder, a Live Bait Well, a Wireless Trolling Motor, and an Ice Box to store your catches. Everything you reel in is yours to keep, and Captain Austin will happily clean any keepers for no additional cost!

Captain Austin will provide all rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. If you want to go fly fishing be sure to bring your own rod. Otherwise all you need to bring is sunglasses, sunscreen, and any snacks or drinks you might need. Book your trip with Captain Austin today!

About Your Guide

Austin F.

Independent Guide 13 years of exp.

Captain Austin has spent his entire life in the Central Florida region with a heavy focus around Ponce Inlet and its surrounding areas. At the age of 10 his passion for the sport of saltwater fishing began to build. By age 12, he held a Florida Boaters License and a skiff which enabled him to begin exploration into the area's backcountry waters such as Spruce Creek, Mosquito Lagoon and The Indian River. 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.

Captain Cole has been fishing the East Central Region of Florida since age 11, when he first started saltwater fishing. He is a graduate of the University of Central Florida, a member of the CCA, and holds a USCG Master Captains License. Cole and his brother Austin have over 10+ years of experience, learning the ins and outs of fishing the Ponce Inlet, Daytona Beach, and New Smyrna Beach Waters. The variety of fish to target in this 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!
