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.

Got a big one

Sep 14, 2024 Rutledge

StriperXtreme to the XTREME!

Spring bite FIRE

Apr 10, 2024 Rutledge

The spring bite is off to a good start and Xtreme is putting some nice Striper in the boat.

The summer bite has been good.

Jul 6, 2023 Rutledge

Xtreme fishing

Been catching some really nice fish this spring pulling planner boards.

Spring bite is kicking in!

Feb 24, 2023 Rutledge

The spring bite is heating up. The weather is unstable and iy could rain any day but so it us this time of year. The fish are startung to play and if you can hit just the right day it can be a migical time catching big healthy striped bass. Im pulling planner boards with large baits and the bite is supper exciting when a big fish blows the bait out of the water before getting ahold of it to take the planner board scooting across the top if the water. Grab hold with both hands and hold on for the ride, they are supper strong in the colder water. Hope to see you soon. Captain Bobby

Fishing isn’t easy. Not every day is perfect. Today started slow. But Captain Bobby kept working. He’s a machine. Constantly searching for the fish. And my oh my, did he find them. The monsters showed up! Each fish was bigger than the last. I can’t recommend him enough. We live 7 hours away and will definitely be back.
