Episode 52: Capt. Andrew Bostick - The Gladesmen

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...
