Full Day Trip
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Don’t book with another before you’ve gone out with Blake. I’ve been on many charters, and I can honestly say that I will not be booking with anyone other than Blake from now on! He was very knowledgeable about the waters and had some secret spots that proved well worth the trip. My six year old daughter came, and he worked so well with her and made her feel so important, that meant a lot to me. She is already begging for another trip! We had an absolute blast and I can’t wait to go again!

Half Day Trip (AM)
Our family of 4 had an absolutely wonderful day fishing with Capt. Blake. He is enthusiastic, well versed on the waters, polite and best of all put us on the fish! He was willing to move around when the bites weren’t there. We had an individual with mobility issues and Capt. Blake made sure he was well taken care of. Will definitely plan to fish with Blake again.
