My my brother and I were pleased with the fishing we had with Captain Andrew. Fishing had been rough because of the cold weather the area had been experiencing. Fortunately for us, the weather had improved although the bass were finicky. Captain Andrew’s knowledge of the area proved to be advantageous as he put us on fish. He fished with us to help determine the best technique for success as the day went on. We primarily used plastics, adjusting the type and technique to find willing fish. My brother and I combined for at least 20 bass as well as a number of bowfin and Mayan cichlid. There were numerous small gar that were annoying but rarely caught. Captain Andrew had great rods for us to use, both spinning and bait casting. We went through a lot of plastics, too! If we were to return to the area and wanted to fish the Everglades again, we would definitely seek out Captain Andrew.
Andrew is a knowledgeable angler. He worked hard to give us a great experience. He knows the are really well and he worked with us to improve our technique. We caught a lot of fish and we caught some good size bass. If you have little to know experience he will work with you. If you have lots of experience he will challenge you to be better. If you want a great bass fishing experience in the Everglades, Andrew is your guide!

We had an incredible father and son fishing trip with Andrew. From the moment we arrived, he was already waiting for us at the dock and made everything easy and smooth. We caught largemouth bass, peacock bass, and the “stripe bass”, with action almost nonstop the entire trip. Andrew knew exactly where to take us, and every spot produced fish. His knowledge of the area and attention to detail really showed. If you’re coming to fish in South Florida, go with Andrew. He truly lives up to the name King of the Everglades. Highly recommended.
Together with my son, we wanted to experience a great fishing morning, especially for him. It was the first time in a boat for fishing Bass, and we made it really happy. Thanks to the Capt. Andrew for sharing all his experience in the area and for being so supporting for us. It was really children frienly environment. I fully recommend this for everybody. Thanks Capt Andrew !!! We will come back for sure! Matias and Rocco.
Andrew called us the day before and made sure we were all set. He asked what we wanted out of the trip and made sure we got it. We learned the ends and outs of Bass fishing. We caught some good sized fish & we learned a lot and saw a few gators in the process! 10/10 recommend!
