Captain Austin KeatonUS Coast Guard Licensed Captain Austin Keaton is the owner and operator of Native Bass Fishing Charters. He was born and raised in Orlando, Florida where he spent most days fishing every lake, pond, and creek he could find. He grew up right down the road from The Butler Chain of Lakes, fishing out of his best friends John boat. He learned how to fly fish while trout fishing alpine mountain streams with his Grandpa George in Montana when he was in middle school. He spent his high school and college years teaching his friends and family how to fish, and quickly realized he loved taking them on these fishing adventures with him.

No pond or lake was off limits. Bushwhacking and hiking on foot with one rod and a backpack full of lures to different ponds was a frequent way Captain Austin would search for fish in Orlando! As he got older he began saving his money to buy his first boat, a Gheenoe LT25. He explored the Indian River Lagoon in Titusville, Banana River Lagoon in Cocoa Beach and Melbourne, and Mosquito Lagoon on Florida's Space coast. He learned how to push pole for tailing Redfish, cast a fly rod to a laid up Tarpon, skip docks for Snook waiting to ambush baitfish and sigh fish the flats for big Gator Trout. Captain Austin upgraded his Gheenoe to a Bossman Tortuga which allowed him to fish even more of Florida's Space Coast and lakes all over Orlando. Captain Austin now owns a Skeeter S230 powered by a Yamaha 250 SHO. This was his dream boat from the time he was in high school, which overlooks the Butler Chain of Lakes. His dream of becoming a full time freshwater and saltwater fishing guide is now a reality, and he spends 6 days a week guiding all over Central Florida. Captain Austin can't wait for you join him on more fishing adventures! His goal is to to bring a higher quality fishing charter experience to every single one of his clients. He has built the top rated Central Florida fishing charter and has surrounded himself with other Captains who share his passion for getting families on the water, sharing their fishing knowledge with you, and most importantly creating a fun, laid back experience. Join us as we continue our journey, fishing Central Florida! -Captain Austin Keaton |
