Capt. Andrew believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Don't forget to bring snacks so that everyone stays happy and energized!

Capt. Andrew will bring you aboard a 22' Pathfinder bay boat with capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait or dead bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

A Bucket-List Worthy Fishing Trip with Captain Andrew!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on May 24, 2025

I had the most phenomenal time on this fishing charter with Captain Andrew! From the moment we stepped on board, he made us feel welcome and completely at ease. His knowledge of the waters and expert guidance had us catching fish in no time. Captain Andrew’s enthusiasm and passion for fishing are truly infectious, he turned a great day on the water into an even more amazing adventure. The boat was spotless and fully equipped, the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for an unforgettable day of fishing, Captain Andrew is the one to book with. Absolutely phenomenal and 100% amazing!

Most Productive Charter I’ve ever been on

4 Hour trip - Afternoon trip on May 9, 2025

I had such a blast fishing for cobia with Andrew with Salty Goat last year that I decided to book again for my girlfriend’s birthday, who is highly prone to sea sickness. He was super helpful with tips to overcome it leading up to the trip and was open to changing up our plan based on how she felt. We went offshore and caught a few kings and despite the day being fairly calm, the girlfriend got sick and we had to head closer to shore. Captain Andrew was very accommodating and asked for our input on a few options. We asked if we could target tarpon and bull reds and he did not disappoint! He worked very hard to keep us rigged up and on top of the fish at all times. We had over 6 tarpon up to the boat and had fun fighting many more! The boat and the gear itself elevated the experience even more. All of his rods are premium blanks customized by his self and reels were smooth. Seems silly to call out but that refined gear really makes it all the better. Highly recommend this guide for people new to it or even experienced anglers looking to learn something new.

Special 4 hour trip for Jillian Varn on May 24, 2025 • 3 adults

We had a great day with Captain Andrew! He was experienced, relaxed, kind and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this trip. Book him if you get a chance! He kept us on the fish all afternoon. We caught 4 species, including a number of tarpon (a fun fight, and so cool to see their “acrobatics”), redfish, and a monster kingfish at the end. Andrew was a great communicator and was super patient with our son. We couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water and we will most definitely book with Andrew again when we are back in town.

Awesome experience!

8 Hour Trip – Inshore/Offshore on May 16, 2025 • 2 adults

Andrew was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. He was rigging our fishing lines faster than we could reel in fish. He had a great personality. We would have fish till dark if it wasn’t for the shark. Sharks took at least a dozen of our fish, but we brought a lot home and my wife was very happy about that. This was a special trip for my brother and me which I hadn’t seen in three years and it was a great day. Thank you, Andrew. Highly recommend.

Absolutely a pleasure meeting you and your brother! You guys were an awesome team out there! Not only that but I think the prize of the day (bean bag chair) your brother absolutely love. Looked like a king lounging. Let me know when you are ready for the next trip 🫡.

Fishing with Andrew

8 Hour Trip – Inshore/Offshore on May 8, 2025

Great time had by all. Captain Andrew put us on the fish!!! Was impressed with his knowledge, experience and work ethic. Being a navy guy he obviously was comfortable out on the water. The only thing I would recommend is before going on your trip eat a hefty bowl of wheaties and or spinach, and you might plan on packing a couple extra strength Tylenol for afterwards. You will be using muscles you never knew you had!

Haha sorry we put the hurting on those muscles! Great to have you out there and a pleasure to fish with you as well. Till next time!
