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.

We go fishing every year on vacation. This was our best fishing experience ever. I highly recommend Striper Extreme to everyone trying to make a decision. We will book with him on our next Tennessee vacation. Thank you!!
