I booked a 4-hr flats charter with Capt Andy to hopefully get my 16 yo daughter on her first redfish. Capt Andy was prompt to respond and was also very transparent on impact of high water temps on redfish probability.  He recommended switching from AM to a 7-11pm trip to increase chances and open the door for snook he was scouting earlier in the week.  We went with his recommendation and were rewarded beyond expectation.

Although my daughter was unable to make the trip due to illness, my wife and I had a fantastic time.  We caught the following species in 3.5 hrs- gag grouper, trout, yellow jack, sea cat, ladyfish, redfish and snook. His “honeyhole” was on fire- gator trout, fat reds and 32-34” snook.

Boat is pristine, Andy called me a few times to discuss the trip and ensure our desires were met to the best of his ability.  He was waiting at the ramp for us with a live well full of live bait. Zipped to spots, he gave us helpful tips and assisted with live bait set-up.  I’d highly recommend Andy if you have kids as well.  He is a young, courteous guy- you’ll be very pleased!  We’ll be back for sure!

I had an unforgettable fishing trip with Captain Andy! From the moment we set out, he was professional, knowledgeable, and full of great energy. He knew exactly where to go, and thanks to his expertise, I was able to reel in a massive grouper—definitely the catch of a lifetime!

Captain Andy made the whole experience enjoyable, offering helpful tips and making sure everyone on board had a great time. If you’re looking for a skilled and friendly guide for your next fishing adventure, I highly recommend him. I’ll definitely be booking another trip soon!

Where do I begin? Andy was quick to respond and easy to communicate with to plan our excursion. From the moment we stepped on the boat to the moment we stepped off it was nonstop action. From fishing the bridge, the flats, and ending the evening dock fishing at night. My son was put on multiple species with multiple catches of each; snook, redfish, ladyfish, catfish, and trout. Gonna be hard to beat this trip in the future, but we’ll be sure to rip some lips with Andy when we come back down!

Andy did a great job putting us where the fish were. From huge schools of tarpon to casting for snook in the back county mangroves and along the beach, and drifting along beautiful grass flats for trout. We had plenty of opportunities although the fish weren’t cooperating. Capt Andy had a good plan and structured the trip to spend most of the day fishing instead of taking a boat ride. Will 100% go out with him again. We even saw manatees at several spots!

Andy took us around the St Pete inshore and landed us on some monsters. He really knows the area and has some great honey holes. Had fish in the boat first thing in the morning and kept on hooking em all day. Would absolutely use Captain Andy again.
