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.

Captain Bobby was extremely knowledgeable and had the right gear for the trip! The weather was extremely unforgiving but Captain Bobby persevered to give us a great trip. We will definitely be coming back for another extreme trip with Captain Bobby

Thanks Blake, it was Xtreme weather. Hopefully the next time we can fish under better conditions. The little guys were troopers.
