We had a great time with Captain Austin. We did a 4 hour morning fishing charter. He has everything you need! Makes it a breeze whether you are experienced or not. We had a beautiful clear day and caught a ton of fish! Went to a couple of different locations. We saw a ton of Dolphins! Captain Austin is so passionate about fishing and the ocean he has no problem baiting your hooks for you all day, and even stopped in the middle of the ocean to pick up some balloons that were floating around. We had a group of 4 plus captain I would say anymore could be a little tight. We will for sure book again!

We had a great time with Austin on our fishing trip. Made it easy to book and get out to enjoy time with my son's! Looking forward to our next rip with Austin and hoping to get further out closer to Catalina if weather permits! Thank you for the great experience!

The absolute GOAT of fishing. Man, we had such a great time with Austin. Caught a bunch of fish and had an amazing time throughout. He's super helpful, nice, and just an all around cool guy. This was our first time fishing in OC, but we are planning on making it a regular occurrence. We'll definitely be back soon!
