THE FISH DOCTOR!
Quarter Day Trip on April 2, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Andy was great. We booked a 2 hour trip with our family and he made it fun and easy the whole time. He was great with them, kept everyone engaged, and knew exactly what he was doing. Right at the end, he put us on a massive black drum and did pulled out every trick for us us to it. By then we were calling him the “Fish Doctor.” If you’re thinking about booking, go with “The Fish Doctor” Captain Andy. He delivers.

Half Day Trip on April 28, 2026 • 3 adultsThe entire trip was a total success! Captain Andy did an excellent job keeping the action going, making sure we always had fresh bait and plenty of opportunities to catch fish. His knowledge of Tampa Bay is impressive—he really knows all the best fishing spots.
Emily Saul5.0VerifiedHad a good time
Half Day Trip on April 21, 2026 • 2 adultsDespite the wind we had a good time. Saw dolphins. Fun to catch different fish, I even caught a stingray! Andy was great even when we got all tangled up, and caught in trees. Small boat so it was nice for the two of us, big part of why I booked the trip with him.
Jon BaumbergerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFun Trip
Half Day Trip on July 19, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Andy was well experienced and put us on various species of fish. he was very knowledgeable about the waters we fished. Was a very windy day with some rougher than expected seas, but Captain Andy did a great job of never making us feel unsafe.

Anthony LawsonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Time with Captain Andy
Half Day Trip on October 20, 2025 • 2 adultsWe had an absolutely incredible time on our charter fishing trip! The experience far exceeded our expectations — the captain was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to my husband and I making sure we were comfortable and always had what we needed.

Visiting from the UK - i chose to book Andy based solely on his super positive reviews and catch reports. From the outset it was clear that Andy is a highly accomplished angler. We had fish from the beginning of the trip - moving frequently to try new spots, in order to keep on top or the fish…. Being new to Florida fishing Andy was a great tutor - taking time to help me throughout the day… remaining patient even after i lost a ‘proper’ Snook! I would highly recommend Andy -he has a great boat and is a super laid back skipper who made the day feel relaxed and fun throughout. .
I was an Inshore Fishing Captain in Venice Florida for ten years targeting Snook, Redfish and Trout. Captain Andy is one of the best Captains I have fished with. Great equipment, superb knowledge of where the fish were and what they were feeding on. Can't ask for anything better than that! If you are looking for a great fishing experience, book with Captain Andy and the Salty Experience.
We had a wonderful day of fishing. Captain Andy knew all the right spots, types of fish in the area and hustled the entire trip to keep our lines in the water. We kept pulling fish into the boat one after another. The fresh red snapper were absolutely delicious! Captain Andy is a fantastic fisherman and very professional guide. We were a bit rusty. His patience and guidance were much appreciated.
My husband, our two teenage boys, and I recently went on the 6-hour trip, and we had a fantastic time. Captain Andy took us to a few special spots that really produced. We ended the trip by catching several bonnethead sharks, which the kids loved reeling in. We even got to take home some fillets from our morning catches. Thank you for a great experience!
this was genuinely the best fishing charter ive been on. cap isnt just nice he’s personable and it feels like youve know him for years when you meet him. he knew everything about every spot and actually called what we were gonna catch depending on the side of the mangroves. book it!
