Andy’s Fishing Charters 

Captain Andy's guide skills helped me to achieve an Inland Grand Slam on my trip out with him, with 3 species I had never caught before- speckled trout, snook and red drum. I missed 412 chances 😅 at an absolute TANK of a tarpon, and quite a few smaller tarpon. It was touch and go prior to our launch due to weather, but Andy communicated with me the entire time while watching radar and ultimately deciding to hit the water. The weather was perfect the entire night, with plenty of action, bringing 10-15 fish into the boat thoughout the night. Red drum, speckled trout, snook, saltwater sail catfish, ladyfish all got caught and released. Overall, I had a fantastic evening and will definitely be booking again next time I'm down from NC!

I’ve been fishing for most of my life, and for more than 20 years, I’ve dreamed of catching a truly big Tarpon. This past weekend, that dream finally became a reality — and I couldn’t have asked for a better captain to experience it with my 15-year-old son. From the moment I booked the trip, Captain Andy was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. When we arrived, his boat was spotless, well-maintained, and perfectly set up for Tarpon fishing. More importantly, Captain Andy immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. We were seeing Tarpon within five minutes of getting to our spot. Captain Andy knew exactly what he was doing and took the time to explain the process to both my son and me without overwhelming us. I consider myself a seasoned fisherman, but Tarpon fishing is a completely different game, and having someone with his knowledge and experience made all the difference. Then the action started. Captain Andy put me on the fish I had been waiting more than two decades to catch. The fight was absolutely incredible and something I’ll never forget. But what made the trip even more special was watching my son get in on the action. Captain Andy helped my 15-year-old hook several Tarpon of his own. Anyone who has ever Tarpon fished knows that simply getting one to eat and getting a hook in one is an accomplishment. We were fortunate enough not only to hook several, but to bring them all the way to the boat. For me, though, the biggest takeaway from this trip wasn’t just catching the fish of a lifetime. It was being able to experience it with my son and create a memory that we’ll both carry with us for the rest of our lives. That is something you simply can’t put a price on. Captain Andy is everything you want in a charter captain — knowledgeable, professional, patient, punctual, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He knows how to put you on fish, but just as importantly, he knows how to make the entire experience enjoyable. If you’re considering a Tarpon trip in the Tampa Bay area, I highly recommend Captain Andy without hesitation. Whether you’re an experienced angler or completely new to Tarpon fishing, you’ll be in excellent hands. An incredible captain, an incredible fishery, and an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you, Captain Andy, for helping make a 20+ year dream come true!

Me and my girlfriend were looking for a fun adventure so we booked a half day trip (4hours) starting at 8:30pm didnt end up coming in till 1:30am!! Hooked tons of fish but we caught about 5-6 snook 4 solid trout and Captain andy got me hooked in my first and PB redfish coming in at over 13.4lbs. In all was a super fun experience Captain Andy is super knowledgeable and knows where to go. Also he kept offering if we wanted to keep fishing and keep going and extendeing the trip for us to almost a 6 hour trip of non stop action.

I live here locally in Tierra Verde. My grandchildren are obsessed with fishing. Captain Andy was so patient and taught them some very important things. Best part… Boca Ciega Bay is filled with Snapper, Red Fish, Ladyfish, Trout that they caught. We saw Snook ( that we could only admire because the dolphins attacked🤣 and had a feast. It was a great day! Captain Andy also showed how one should dress on a boat in July👍 He’s highly experienced and comes from a long line of fishermen.

we saw so many fish and the captain took the time to make sure we knew what we were doing and get us into the fish. Knocked an amazing bucket list fish off the books. They fight like hell and watching them jump is great. Want to catch fish and enjoy a great time on the water? Book this captain now! will definetely be back to fish again!

Captain Andy was very knowledgeable of the area. He had a very nice boat to fish from and was very accommodating to fishing styles. I have always wanted to fly fish for trout, reds and snook. He put us on the fish and knew the best hours of the day, to fish to have the most success. I would highly recommend Andy for your next fishing trip. I will fish with him again if I’m ever back in this area.

My girlfriend and I had a great time on the water fishing with Andy! We caught lots of fish - many of which were different species. It was our first time saltwater fishing and Andy did a terrific job educating and teaching us. If you’re looking for a new or fun experience, Andy is your guy. We would definitely book with Andy again!

We fished 2 full days with Captain Andy in St. Petersburg. What an amazing trip! I would definitely recommend him. I’ve been with other guides and he was the best. He was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. He seemed to always have us on fish with several doubles. Looking forward to our return trip!

Great day with Capt Andy. Got us on fish right away and then moved to another hot bit. Started with sone gag grouper while we caught bait fish for later larger grouper. Caught a small tarpon in the process...but the highlight was pulling 14 pound grouper of dock wall.

Captain Andy put us on fish and gave us tactics to get them to the boat. We caught redfish, trout, and mangrove snapper, plus hooked and lost several other fine gamefish. As luck would have it, it was a very windy day and he made it work anyway!
