We have been booking trips around Oak Island for 20+ years. After a long time captain retired we decided to give this booking a shot. Man… it did not disappoint. We were unable to go too far offshore due to the weather and sea conditions but plan B turned out to be one of the best days fishing we have had in 20 years. Captain Jay was not only knowledgeable, and as excited as we were for the catch, but was just a genuinely great person. Got about a dozen Spanish in the boat until the storm blew over, then off to the races with the Kings. 6 Kings landed, between 19 and 32 lbs, with 3 more pulling off. I would highly recommend Captain Austin’s for novices or experienced fishermen. Great people, great atmosphere, great experience!

My wife and I took our grandson (20 yo) on a trip with Capt Austin’s charter. Drake and Jay were awesome. Got us on the fish and we took home Triggerfish, Snapper, Grouper and Cobia.  Would have had much more if not for the shark. An excellent adventure

Fishing was slow but still had an enjoyable experience.

We were on the kings all day. Great trip
