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.

Fun, relaxing trip in the morning with Capt. Bobby. He was ready to go right away, great communicator, very attentive, knowledgeable and a nice guy. We were catching the most on the lake everywhere we went. He cleaned up our catch and we are eating it now with extra for more meals. Mmmm! Definitely go with StriperXtreme.
