Carter Andrews honing in on a bone fish (photo by Tom Montgomery)

Carter Andrews 

Fishing has been a passion of mine since I can remember.  While growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I spent all my free time fishing and dreaming of being a professional bass fisherman.  In the late 70's I was introduced to fly fishing.  The only thing that got in the way of my fishing was school and a conventional job for a short period of time.  Then I saw the light.  I wanted to share the joy I got from fishing with as many people as possible.  I've been fortunate to experience some really fantastic fishing in some beautiful parts of the world.

Five years ago I stumbled upon Crooked Island.  Although sports fishing has been a large part of tourism in the Bahamas for over thirty years Crooked Island has had little fishing pressure.  The friendly residents of Crooked Island and I would like to share with you this wonderful world.  The gentle breeze in the palm trees, the miles of white sand, and the famous crystal clear water of the Bahamas is the perfect combination for an unforgettable vacation.  I spend the majority of the year on Crooked Island and will do everything possible to provide you with a memorable fishing experience.
