I had my first outing with Captain Austin Pryor on the Hillbilly Express in October 2023 at Harker's Island, NC. Captain Austin displayed impressive knowledge of the local fishing spots, the best targets, and the right bait to use. He navigated the waters expertly, even in challenging conditions. We had a great haul, catching numerous King Mackerel, Amberjack, False Albacore, Spanish Mackerel, and other species. I was so pleased with the experience that I've already reserved the same week for another trip on the Hillbilly!
