About Your Trip

Explore the Waters of Bluffton & Hilton Head with Captain Austin!
Get ready for an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Austin, a true local who knows the inshore and nearshore waters of Bluffton and Hilton Head like the back of his hand. With over a decade of guiding experience, Captain Austin will take you on a thrilling fishing adventure targeting Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Jack Crevalle, Sharks, and even Cobia, depending on the season!

You'll be fishing aboard a 24’ Bulls Bay center console, an ideal vessel for navigating the winding tidal creeks as well as pushing out into deeper waters when the conditions are right. Whether you're casting lines in the skinny backwaters for tailing Redfish or heading out to battle powerful Jacks and Sharks, this trip offers something for every angler—beginners, families, and seasoned pros alike!

What to Expect on Your Trip
Captain Austin believes in giving his guests the full local fishing experience. Most trips start with catching live bait—an exciting and hands-on way to begin the day! Then, it's time to put that bait to use as you sight cast to Redfish on the flats, jig for Speckled Trout in deeper channels, or set up near structure for Flounder and Black Drum. If you're visiting during peak migration, you might even have the chance to battle Tarpon, Cobia, or massive Bull Reds!

We Provide Everything You Need:
- Top-quality rods and reels
- Live bait and tackle
- Fishing license for everyone on board
- Life jackets (adult & child sizes)
- Large cooler with ice for snacks & drinks
- Fillet bags for any legal fish you choose to keep

What to Bring:
- Snacks and drinks (we provide small bottled waters)
- Layers for cooler months
- Lotion sunscreen (spray sunscreen is not allowed)
- A small cooler if you want to take home your fillets

Conservation-Focused Fishing
Captain Austin is passionate about keeping these waters thriving for generations to come. While the majority of trips follow a catch-and-release program, you’re welcome to keep a limited amount of fish within state regulations and expert recommendations—and he’ll fillet them for you back at the dock.

So, whether you're looking for a laid-back day of fishing with the family or an action-packed battle with hard-fighting inshore species, Captain Austin is ready to show you an incredible time on the water. Book your trip today and experience the best of Bluffton & Hilton Head fishing!
