I’m Andrew, owner and captain of Reels Up Guide Service. I grew up fishing these waters and learned early that time on the boat isn’t about numbers alone—it’s about the people you share it with and the memories you take home.

 

Fishing runs deep in my family. What started as days on the water with my father turned into a lifelong passion that I turned into a business. Today, I run every trip myself, putting the same effort into each charter that I would if it were my own friends or family onboard.

 

I take pride in running a clean, well-rigged boat and staying dialed in on the bite. From inshore striped bass to offshore runs, my focus is simple: put you in the right place, fish hard, and give you a trip you’ll talk about long after it’s over.

 

When you book with Reels Up, you’re not getting handed off to a random captain—you’re fishing with me. I want every client to feel comfortable, confident, and part of the experience, whether it’s your first time fishing or you’ve been doing it your whole life.

 

I look forward to getting you on the water and showing you what Connecticut fishing is all about.
