United Kingdom•Member since 2026•2 trips5.0VerifiedAmazing Tampa Bay Fishing Experience
Full Day Trip • 1 adultVisiting from the UK - i chose to book Andy based solely on his super positive reviews and catch reports. From the outset it was clear that Andy is a highly accomplished angler. We had fish from the beginning of the trip - moving frequently to try new spots, in order to keep on top or the fish…. Being new to Florida fishing Andy was a great tutor - taking time to help me throughout the day… remaining patient even after i lost a ‘proper’ Snook! I would highly recommend Andy -he has a great boat and is a super laid back skipper who made the day feel relaxed and fun throughout. .

Half Day Trip • 2 adultsI was an Inshore Fishing Captain in Venice Florida for ten years targeting Snook, Redfish and Trout. Captain Andy is one of the best Captains I have fished with. Great equipment, superb knowledge of where the fish were and what they were feeding on. Can't ask for anything better than that! If you are looking for a great fishing experience, book with Captain Andy and the Salty Experience.

Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM • 3 adultsWe had a wonderful day of fishing. Captain Andy knew all the right spots, types of fish in the area and hustled the entire trip to keep our lines in the water. We kept pulling fish into the boat one after another. The fresh red snapper were absolutely delicious! Captain Andy is a fantastic fisherman and very professional guide. We were a bit rusty. His patience and guidance were much appreciated.

Full Day Trip • 4 adultsMy husband, our two teenage boys, and I recently went on the 6-hour trip, and we had a fantastic time. Captain Andy took us to a few special spots that really produced. We ended the trip by catching several bonnethead sharks, which the kids loved reeling in. We even got to take home some fillets from our morning catches. Thank you for a great experience!

What's biting with Captain Andy's Salty Adventures in St. Petersburg
As the tourist season winds down, the fishing season is just getting better and better. Big King Mackerel arrive close to the beaches during their fall migration. People from far and wide come to catch a 'smoker.'
