Captain
Bobby Crabtree

Member since February 2018 Rutledge, United States

Background: Fishing is my true passion, I spend most of my days on the water and follow the migration patterns of Striped Bass. I really enjoy helping kids and watching people of all ages catch their first trophy fish. I fish mainly live bait but will use any means necessary to put fish in the boat, including downriggers, planner boards, umbrella rigs, and artificials. I am a licensed Captain through the US Coast Guard. I can launch from either Bean Station TN or Jefferson City TN.
Techniques: Live Bait or down riggers, and I also like pulling planner boards with huge gizzard shad.

If you like catching fish after fish this is the Captain for you. Wasn’t on the water 30 minutes and had one on and when these bass start to break the excitement is on so many fish on couldn’t keep up with the down rods. I will differently return

We had a great time with captain Bobby. He put us on the strippers all day and definitely knows his way around the lake. Definitely wouldn’t let a little rain get in the way of this experience. Would highly recommend.

This guy is extremely knowledgeable. Captain Bob is one of the best when it comes to striper fishing. If your looking to catch some fish don’t mess around looking anywhere else. We plan on using stripeXtreme again!
