June 15, 2026Captain Andrew was outstanding. In just a four-hour trip, I caught my first tarpon, an impressive 5-foot fish estimated at around 100 pounds, along with my first grouper and first snook. My wife also had an incredible day on the water, landing a 3-foot tarpon, hooking into an even larger one that unfortunately got away, and catching both a red grouper and a snook. Captain Andrew worked hard to keep us on the fish and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. His knowledge, effort, and professionalism made this a trip we’ll never forget. We highly recommend booking a trip with him and look forward to fishing with him again.

May 27, 2026Captain Andrew was an excellent guide and incredibly knowledgeable about the local fishery. The four-hour inshore trip was the perfect amount of time, and the action was nonstop. We caught an impressive variety of fish, including grouper, redfish, trout, and snook. Andrew kept us on the fish, shared helpful tips throughout the trip, and made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. If you're looking for a professional guide who works hard and knows where to find fish, Captain Andrew is the one to call. We’ll definitely be booking another trip with him on our next visit.

April 20, 2026Andrew was fantastic. As someone who manages a fishing lodge in the Rocky Mountain West, I understand what makes a great guide, and Andrew checks all the boxes. He’s personable, professional, focused, and has a true "let’s catch fish" attitude that made the trip both productive and enjoyable. He was the perfect fit for our group of six, including three kids. Andrew was patient, engaging, and made sure everyone had a great experience on the water. His knowledge, work ethic, and ability to connect with people of all ages really stood out. I sincerely hope he takes me up on my invitation to hunt and fish out West someday. I'd be happy to return the hospitality he showed us. If you're considering booking a trip, don't hesitate. Andrew is absolutely worth it, and I’d fish with him again anytime.

April 6, 2026I recently booked a fishing trip with Andrew, and the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment I booked to the end of the trip, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. Andrew is passionate about fishing and has an impressive knowledge of the local waters, fish behavior, and effective techniques. His communication was excellent, he was punctual, well-prepared, and worked hard to ensure we had a successful day on the water. He adapted to changing conditions and consistently put us on fish throughout the trip. What impressed me most was his professionalism, work ethic, and dedication to providing a great experience. Andrew runs his operation with the confidence and skill of a seasoned guide. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and hardworking fishing guide, I highly recommend booking a trip with Andrew. I look forward to fishing with him again the next time I'm in town.

March 27, 2026Our family will be talking about this trip for years to come. Captain Andrew took us several miles offshore in search of Kingfish and worked tirelessly to put us on the fish. He kept moving and adjusting until we found the action, and his determination paid off. Watching him bait hooks, rig tackle, cast, and help land fish was impressive. He handled every aspect of the trip with skill and professionalism, all while managing the boat with confidence and keeping everyone engaged. What stood out most was his incredible work ethic. He never slowed down and stayed focused until we reached our limits. Choosing Chasing Limits was one of the best decisions we made during our trip to Anna Maria Island. It was truly the highlight of our vacation, and we can't wait to come back and do it again.

March 23, 2026My wife and I had a great trip with Andrew. He put us on schools of kingfish with a livewell filled to the brim. First stop about 6 miles out in the gulf. Quickly he had bait in the water and lines ready. He worked non stop. He baited lines, chummed the water with bait, gaffed fish, retired many hooks as kings will cut your line easy. Always with a smile. True professional. He talked to other guides on our way out. Asked for reports but also helped returned favors when our bite was hot. Those connections mean he cares about finding his customers fish and having a good time. Andrew, thanks for a great trip. We will return!

October 6, 2025Capt Andrew is my go to guide. He knows the water and is a tremendous boater. Always have a great time. Never a guarantee to catch fish but we almost always limit out. He’s a fun dude and plays great music. I strongly recommend him.
