Absolute masterclass by a master captain. Intense wind and chalky water worked against us all day, but Captain Young was still able to find fish and work them beautifully. I had an amazing day on the water and learned a ton!

Austin is an awesome guide and a really great dude. Couldn’t recommend someone more if you’re looking to get on some fish with someone who genuinely cares about your experience.

Austin was a great guide and was very knowledgeable of the area. The weather change didn’t help our fish catching much but we didn’t manage to land a couple nice fish. Austin was very good with my 9yo son for his first time fishing as well. Overall, we had a great time! I would definitely take another trip with Austin when given the opportunity.

Austin is a true professional, incredibly knowledgeable guide and is simply a great time to be on the skiff with. Highly recommend hitting the water with Austin whether you’re local or coming in from out of town for a weekend out!

I’ve been out on trips with Austin Dozens of time. From skinny water sight fishing to bait fishing holes, I’ve never had a bad time on his skiff. He truly is a great host and guide of Charleston waters. Any time I can get out with him I look forward to sharing a laugh and making memories! Thanks Austin!

AWESOME TIME with Austin! Met him at the boat launch early, so we hit the water looking for Big Reds! He found em right away, but my fly presentations weren’t what they were looking for. We switched up to spinning tackle and finally put one in the boat. My PB, but still room for improvement!! It was a little nippy on the water and since I forgot my jacket, Austin went above and beyond and quickly stopped back by his truck and grabbed a wind breaker for me. Now THAT is service! Most guides would’ve said, “too bad”, and I’d froze my butt off, but Austin is a Veteran and just shows there are good guys in the world still!! He put me on the fish and we had a blast! Saw dolphins and Ospreys and Blue Herons doing their thing in the wild! Do yourself a favor and call him when you’re ready for a good trip on the waters near Charleston, SC!!! Thanks again Austin, much respect young man!!

Recently completed a five day trip with Austin. Four of the five days the weather , both with temps and visibility, were front and center. Austin had a plan A, B , C and D. Even though the conditions were not favorable, he managed to put us on fish throughout each day. His knowledge of the area , both in where to locate and their behaviors, allowed us to target the redfish. He is very respectful of the habitat and residents along the waterways. Would certainly and will definitely book again. Would not hesitate.

Super fun, informative, and thoughtful guide. Conditions weren’t great for stalking low tide redfish, cloudy and visibility was poor, but can’t control the weather! Austin put me on several fish and taught me what type of features to look for. Great conversationalist, and it was cool to talk about sustainability and fishing. Charleston is really crowded, and he’s really intent on making anglers aware of human pressure on our fishery. Had a great time and learned a lot. Hope to go with him again in 2025!

My marsh hen hunt with Austin was amazing. We had such a great day and got after a ton of birds. He was super helpful and informative on every step of the hunt. Can’t wait to get back out there with him!

Austin was amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and took us to the best spots. We caught plenty of fish and learned so much along the way. He made the whole experience fun and memorable. Highly recommend and can’t wait to book again!

This was out second trip with Austin and once again we had a great experience! Austin is a great guide with a ton of knowledge and an easy going, attitude free personality. Highly recommend, we are already planning our trip for next year!

Awesome experience with Austin. Highly recommended and we will be booking again!

Had a wonderful time on the water with Austin. Attentive and easy going, I would highly recommend him for any fishing or hunting on the water!

Austin is a very knowledgeable guide who understands his water. The conditions were less than favorable, but nevertheless he put me in front of many fish. His understanding of the waterways and personable attitude made for an awesome Lowcountry experience.

Austin and Rosie are the dynamic duo that never disappoint. Austin is very knowledgeable, being able to teach even beginners how to catch fish on the fly. Be prepared to catch all the fish you can handle with these two!

My son and I flew out from Oregon to spend a couple days with Austin and had the best of times. We caught fish, hunted a few birds, enjoyed the boat ride, and appreciated every minute of our time together. He loves his office and it shows. Austin’s legit!

Had a great time fishing with Austin. Put me and my dad on our first Reds. Can’t wait to book the next trip!

We came to Charleston not expecting to fish, but changed our minds over dinner the first night in town. A friend of mine who guides further south on the coast recommended Austin and he was a great guy. He was flexible with a short notice booking and showed us a great time on the water. His knowledge of fish, history, and wildlife provided an all around good adventure.

My sons and I did a trip with Austin; it was absolutely a blast. My boys will remember it forever!

Had a great time with Austin. Great teacher and guide!

Great experience with Austin! Had a blast and saw a ton of fish. Would highly recommend and book again.

Austin was an amazing guide! Best one I’ve had in Charleston by far! Absolutely loved talking with him and learning from him. He not only puts you on the fish, but teaches you why the fish are there, what they’re eating, what they’re doing, etc. Great experience.

Fished several different guides off the SC coast, but AceOutdoors is my favorite by far. Looking forward to fishing a tournament with him as the Captian in the fall. Looking forward to our next trip....becoming a bi annual tradition.

We love fishing with Austin. His approach is so different from other guides in the area. He is all about nature, the experience, and ensuring his clients have fun. He is our favorite!! Have physical limitayions from cancer anx he is always is accomodating. Can't wait to go back. He is helping me with my fly fishing technique!
