Capt. Andrew Bostick | Mill House Podcast - Episode 52

Andrew’s relationship with the Everglades began before his first screams as a baby were heard. Back when the land was free with the long lost term of homesteading, Bostick’s ancestors staked their claim in the Marco Island area in the late 1800’s. Their rugged life simulated the labyrinth waterways of the nearby 10,000 islands, which would eventually become Andrew’s sanctuary and office. Andrew’s dad, Curtis, was a fisherman and introduced his young son to that tug at the end of the string which eventually inspired Andrew to greatness on the ESPN Redfish Tour. He and his two different teammates, Mark Miller and Mark Sepe, were an ominous threat for ten years, winning the overall title once and team of the year three times. They always finished in the top five, ultimately pocketing close to $750,000.

Bostick's demeanor is humble and kind, unlike the inner fire it took to push as hard and fast as he did to win on tour. When I first fished with Andrew I was blown away. Now at 58 years old, I see a man who has refined his craft to an art form.

I’ve fished with guides around the world for 40 years, and I can count on one hand the guides that are comparable to this subtle giant. He’s not only a fishing genius, but his friendship is just as large.

I love this man and I hope you do too...

I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to fish with Captain Bostick each year. He studies his profession every day. He is simply at the top of the class.

One of the most astute and intelligent students, and teachers, that I've met in my life. Always learning from the water, always observing, always integrating all of the variables involved in a fishing day. It's a privilege and a pleasure to share time on the water with Andrew.

Great interview. Coincidently, Capt. Phil O’Bannon was who I looked up to the most as a guide when I used to live and guide down there.

I'm not even a fly guy but I really appreciate the interviews you guys do.
