Jacob Hanisits•
Pennsylvania, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedAwesome trip!
Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on June 26, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Andrew was awesome. This was my 1st fishing charter ever and didn't disappoint. Andrew did his best to put us on any fish he could, offering tips on how to catch them and where to cast. 1st time saltwater fishing and I'm no pro but the other party member was pretty inexperienced and he did a fantastic job catering to both of us. Ended the trip on an awesome note landing a 28inch snook

Solo Angler on July 9, 2025 • 1 adultWe absolutely caught fish all day long. 7 species total. With a 7 ft nurse shark to cap off the day. It was incredible. Couldn't have asked for a better day and captain Andrew was awesome and kept us on fish all day long. Coming back for more in a few days.

Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on October 23, 2021 • 3 adultsWhat a great day on the water with Captain Andrew Crabtree! We were blessed to catch 8 different types of fish on our half day of inshore fishing. He put us on the fish then quickly and patiently taught us the correct fishing techniques to be successful. AND WE WERE!! His motto was “safety first.” Captain Andrew was respectful, a complete gentleman, and conversation was easy. I highly recommend him for first time fisherman or experienced anglers, young and old alike! Thank you again Captain Andrew Crabtree for an amazing day!!

Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM) on April 13, 2021 • 2 adultsCaptain Andrew was a super cool guy and a fantastic guide ! Knew all the spots for great fishing ! Spanish Mackerel were alot of fun to fight and bring in. Caught some great Grouper! We was very knowledgeable of Florida Coast waters . Provided everything we needed for a great time out on the bay. And then even gave us some bonus time at the end of the 4 hour trip to hunt down some reds in shallow water . Definitely recommend this trip with him.

Your captain
St. Petersburg, Florida, United States
Welcome aboard! Fishing has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I've been lucky enough to travel and cast lines in some of the best fishing spots across the country. But ever since my first trip to Tampa Bay back in 1999, I knew I had found something truly special. The waters here are not only beautiful—they're some of the most diverse and productive fisheries you'll find anywhere. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting started, there's something here for everyone. Becoming a charter captain was always a dream of mine, and now I get to live it every day—sharing unforgettable fishing adventures and teaching the sport I love. There's nothing better than helping others experience the thrill of a great catch and the joy of being out on the water. Let's go fishing and create some memories you won't forget!
