Austin is a great captain and very knowledgeable on the local waters, he put us on the fish right away, with a Mahi Mahi!! We also caught Skipjack up to 25#!
The wind and rain got the best of us we heading in after 4 hours of fishing with 1 Mahi and 6 skipjack!
I recommend Austin for your fishing excursions!👍

Captain Austin was easy to work with as far as answering any questions I had prior to the trip. We actually fished with Captain Braden….he was very easy to work with and was great about sharing information about the fishery. We went out and found the signs of what we were looking for….several other boats saw us and decided to come over. Captain Braden noticed that the fish got shy and it was time to leave the fleet for our own fish. We got into another batch of fish and started heading back when out of nowhere We had a nice big take down…..after a nice fight we ended up with a 80-90 lb yellowfin. Great day on the water…..thank you for a great trip.

Capt Braden was an awesome captain! We caught 5 yellowfin tuna! He was good about changing up lures when we weren’t catching anything and we got giant cuts of fresh tuna at the end! There were six of us tourists on the boat. 2 were super sick the whole time. I am 25 weeks pregnant but did not feel sick at all, but I really never get motion sick. The ride was super rocky and fun, but not for my husband or one other person who were sick almost the entire time. Me and another girl did end up throwing up toward the end, but I honestly didn’t really feel nauseated. The other girl thinks she might have felt sick at the sight of the bloody tuna. My husband has been fine on boats before but this was way more waves than he’s ever experienced. We live Seattle so he’s been fishing on the Sound before. Maybe try taking meds. He didn’t take anything before the trip.

We had a great experience with Austin and would definitely use him again. The day started slow, but we ended up catching 4 spinjack tuna. We hooked a big fish, which we think was a 75-100 lbs yellow fin, but eventually lost it. I also got another spinjack right up to the boat but it came off before being gigged, but that’s part of fishing. We had kids, 15 and 12, aboard and they had a blast.

I was a little surprised about how the catch is handled, and it’s worth knowing. Austin cleaned one of the tunas for us to eat while on the island. He explained that spinjack doesn’t freeze well and that cleaning that many fish isn’t part of the package. He offered to let us take all of the fish and clean and process it ourselves, but ultimately we opted against it. He explained he usually trades or just gives it to local families, which I was happy with. I just wanted to know it would be eaten and not sold.

Great expierence, Austin immediately got us onto fish. He was very professional and knew what he was doing. Weather didnt work in our favor as it was rough, wet, and windy so we called the trip short and turned it intoa 4 hour. We still ended the morning with 7 tuna and 1 mahi
