Captain Shawn Crawford

I have been a full time charter captain/fishing guide for over 25 years. Fishing Tampa Bay/Sarasota Bay, Anna Maria Is.Longboat Key. 6th generation native!
(14)

Email, [email protected] web site, www.captainshawn.com I am a 6th generation Floridian that grew up fishing and it has stayed in my blood! Being a full time fishing guide for over 28 years now and I still love my job and the people I get to meet and so many of them have become great friends. I love to see a person's eye's light up when they catch that once in a life time fish and even more

when it is a kid and not only do they get excited but to see their mom or dad get excited is the most rewarding thing you can see! I fish lower Tampa bay down to Sarasota bay and these are some of the richest waters in the world to fish. Make sure to only fish with a 100% full time guide when booking a trip so you get the trip you are looking for as well time on the water is the best teacher and there are a lot of new and part time guides out there that you should watch out for. Remember, when looking for that trip of a life time it doesn't pay to save a few bucks on a cheaper guide. This is one business where you get what you pay for!

This is really cool..

On November 7, 1984, David Deuel set the IGFA All-Tackle and Men’s 24-kg (50 lb) Line Class World Record with this massive red drum. Deuel was surf fishing from the beach in Avon, North Carolina, when the 42.69-kilogram (94-pound, 2-ounce) record fish struck the cut mullet he was using for bait. After a 45-minute fight that took him nearly a mile along the beach, the fish was weighed and measured (57” long with a 38” girth). Deuel's catch of a lifetime still stands nearly 39 years later.

Wow! What a fall and winter this has been! From insane catches of hog fish out front to nice snook, trout, and reds inshore! Well, the time has come… The spring fishing is happening and just getting fired up! From high number red fish days to quality snook and limits of trout. Don’t wait too long to get your spring trip booked so we can get you the day you’re looking for. Hope to hear from you soon!
