We have been going out with Capt. Andrew for two years and are already looking at our calendars for 2025! Capt. Andrew is able to tailor any trip to meet your needs. We’ve been out with him to catch huge predators, we’ve been on trips to fill our freezer, we’ve been out with him to take my FIL and even my nephew who has never been in a boat! On our big predator trip this past summer, we finished the day with my tiny daughter catching a tiny shark (two actually)!! His boat is immaculately clean and comfortable to be on all day long. They are very conservation-minded from caring for the fish (taken and released) as well as cleaning up any trash they come across in the water. Andrew and Dube both LOVE fishing and they both love the ocean. Of all the boats and all the captains and all the mates in the Clearwater area, we will always go with BigAngler. PS. Big Angler also gives back to the community through education and outreach projects. They are good people.

Fishing report 6/5/24 It was pretty rough in the morning but calmed down quite a bit twords the end of the day. This was another shark trip with a really cool group! Once again we killed it and ended up tearing up the sharks. It started off with an easy manageable 3.5 foot shark and ended with a shark bigger than the back transom of the boat(12.6ft) that we fought for an hour and 20 minutes! It was a really fun trip. if youre looking to catch a bucket list shark now is the time of year you want to book your trips! The sharks have been fired up!

Fishing report 6/4/24 Today was a breeze compared to the last few! The morning was a little wavy but by the afternoon it was beautiful! We had 2 5 hour shark trips and we killed it on both of them! We worked our way up the food chain on each trip starting with bait for our bait and then eventually the big ones! First trip we caught and released 3 sharks on the first trip a 12 ft dusky a 8-9ft sand bar shark and a 10ft bull shark and broke off and lost countless amounts of sharks as well as Bonitas and Jack caravelles Second trip started off with a nice easy little shark we could actually bring in the boat and then we caught a big Goliath grouper followed by another big 10 ft shark. We are whooped but today was epic for everyone involved! . . . If you're looking to do a bucketlist trip call us @ 727.238.7779 Or book online @ Bigangler.com

#FishingReport 6/3/24 Well it was not as bad as the last couple of days so that's a positive but it was still a little choppy today as well This groups request was "catch enough fish to take some back to Oklahoma" and we did that and more than enough for them to get lunch after the trip as well! We did a lot of bouncing around and finding new spots and had a great time doing it we caught red grouper, mangrove snapper, lane snapper, black sea bass, porgies and grunts!

#FishingReport 6/2/24 It was pretty windy out of the east waves were pretty big to say the least once we got a little ways offshore The waves didn't stop us from having a great day! These guys were friends from all over Florida and they came over because their charter got canceled on the east coast. We fished a bunch of new stuff I had never been to and ended up catching lane snapper, vermilion snapper, mangrove snapper, gag and red groupers, porgies and grunts! These boys had more than enough for a good fish fry!

Fishing report 5/30/24 Weather was less than ideal there was 3 footers and a decent amount of wind offshore but we got it done We stopped to catch bait and never left... as we were catching bait we set a flat line and the rest was history. It started off with Bonita but turned into Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, sharks, cudas, and cobia! Today was really fun for everyone on the boat even the ones that would "puke and rally"😂

Fishing report 5/22/24 It was a little windy out of the east so we had a little chop but overall nice weather. Today my good friend Jeffrey brought his wife and kids out for their first time and we made sure it was one the little ones won't forget! We stayed close because I knew it would be a little more bumpy the further I went offshore. We caught grunts, red grouper and pufferfish non stop and the kids had a blast! Today was a really fun trip for me also.

Fishing report 5/17/24 The weathermen were absolutely wrong and it was a steady 3ft+ roller and probably a foot and a half chop inbetween... less than ideal. We had a crew from Indiana that booked an all day and we had a ton of fun! Regardless of the waves we made it happen out there catching fish almost the entire day we got everything from grunts to a tiny tiger shark! We ended up with some red grouper, lane snapper, mangrove snapper, vermillion snapper, grunts, porgies and a little mahi to bring home! Overall a great day on the Bigangler. We also added a new member to our team today that isn't so new to the area! Dube we're excited to have you and can't wait to see what the future has in store for you!
