This was our second fishing charter with the BIG ANGLER. This time we decided to go longer and deeper and go for sharks. Captain Andrew had his first mate Nate with him. It was an amazing time from start to finish. First class service from start to finish. We caught several different species. Filleted them up after and had the best lunch after. Already booking again for the next trip. Highly highly recommend the BIG ANGLER. A+++++

Great time fishing with these guys! Had a blast, caught a lot of fish, and captains were cool. Best charter we’ve had in the Clearwater area! Captain Andrew runs a great boat!

We had an amazing time with the bigangler crew. Very helpful and were able to put us on to some nice gag groupers along with some other nice keeper fish. Highly recommend this crew for a great time

WONDERFUL! Recently went out on a charter with Andrew & Nate. They did an amazing job. Could not be more happier. Will go out again with them!

Best charter we have ever been on! We caught nearly 100 fish and took back around 75! We caught a few bonito tuna they took right off the boat onto a cutting board and let us try with some great sauce from a local place, then they filleted a bunch of other fish for us to take to another restaurant at the marina to have cooked for us! Very knowledgeable and great at what they do, will be going back!

Im from Oklahoma and I came to Florida for work and ended up taking a last minute shark trip. Let me just day first that I have been on multiple fishing charters in several states. However nothing compared to what we recieved with big angler. Captain Andrew and his mate were freaking awesome! I caught a 4-5 ft spinner shark and a 9ft bull shark! Had a few on that ran the line almost completely off the spools. Also had a few that got away but it was worth the wait for the last catch of the day to be a 9ft bull shark! Thanks again we will definitely be revisiting Big Angler!
