Captain Andrew will get you set up with all the light tackle gear and tackle you'll need to have a successful day out there. The most common and versatile technique, light tackle makes for a great day out on the water producing numbers of fish like Mangrove Snapper and Jack Crevalle. This experience is perfect for the kids if you'd like to bring them along as well!

Captain Andrew of course provides all rods and reels for the trip, but if you have a fishing rod that you would like to bring you are more than welcome to!

Captain Andrew was excellent. We had a great morning up in the back country. Caught a lot of Jack, snapper, trout and even a shark. Andrew is a tru pro. Great communication, on time, and took great care of us on his boat. And, of course, he knows where the fish are!

Believe all the good reviews Andrew has. We had such a great time in the Everglades catching sea trout, jacks, snapper, snook, a bull shark and a nurse shark. Couldn’t have been more pleased with this captain and deckhand. Very polite and prompt on getting you baited up and back in the water. If you are reading this review and wondering who to book a trip with, do not hesitate to book with Andrew.

And he also cleaned our fish with an amazing alacrity and gave us excellent recommendations on where we could have it cooked for us by highly acclaimed local chefs. It wasn’t just fishing, Andrew was the whole package.

But caught at leat 5 in the 24to 27 inch range and another 8 in the 14 to 22 or so. Always busy always catchin and fi ding them. We also caught some big jack cravele big ones. Make your arm hurt.

He did everything he could to put us on fish. He also pointed out the abundance of wildlife, including sea turtles, hammerhead sharks, and a manatee.
