About Your Trip

Join Captain Austin for an exciting 5-hour nearshore fishing trip designed to give you a fast-paced and productive experience on the water. Departing at 7:00 a.m., this morning charter is the perfect way to take advantage of early feeding activity while fishing waters up to 15 miles offshore.

Throughout the trip, you’ll be working a combination of trolling and bottom fishing depending on conditions and where the bite is strongest. This flexible approach allows Captain Austin to cover water efficiently while also dropping down on productive structure when fish are holding tight. Every move is focused on keeping lines in the water and maximizing your chances of steady action.

The target species on this trip offer a great mix of speed, strength, and table quality. You may encounter fast-moving King Mackerel and Spanish Mackerel while trolling, or switch gears to bottom fishing for Black Sea Bass and other reef species. Depending on the season and conditions, there is also the opportunity to target Cobia and additional nearshore fish that roam these waters.

Captain Austin provides all fishing gear and takes care of required fishing licenses, making the trip simple and hassle-free from start to finish. Guests only need to bring along their own food and drinks to stay comfortable throughout the morning on the water.

This trip is ideal for anglers of all experience levels, from beginners looking for an easy introduction to saltwater fishing to seasoned anglers wanting a quick offshore run with solid variety. The short travel time combined with productive fishing grounds makes for an efficient and enjoyable outing.

If you’re looking for a half-day adventure that blends trolling excitement with bottom fishing opportunity, Captain Austin’s 5-hour trip delivers a great balance of action, variety, and convenience on the nearshore waters.
