Tyson Rodgers5.0VerifiedGreat multi-species trip
Full Day Trip on September 12, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Drake was great. Asked us if there was anything in particular that we wanted to target. We told him redfish and he made it happen. Afterwards we went on to catch sheepshead and a few nice speckled trout. Would highly recommend a trip with Captain Drake.
Bonnie JohnsonRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome experience with Captain Drake!

Andrew WalkleyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAwesome 2 day trip!!!
Full Day Trip on April 4, 2024 • 4 adultsMy dad, two brothers, and myself spent two full days fishing with Captain Drake. He called the day before our trip to discuss weather conditions and let us know the first day could be tough due to wind conditions. Fortunately, when we showed up conditions were better than expected and we ended up having a great day taking home 40+ fish. My dad and brothers all hooked into 20+ lb black drum at the same time which was awesome! The second day started off with higher winds than expected but Capt. Drake still put us on fish and we ended up taking 50+ home. We caught a bit of everything but primarily speckled trout, redfish, and black drum. I would highly recommend Captain Drake and will definitely be calling him for future trips. He was fun, conversational, and extremely knowledgeable.
Brian Davis5.0VerifiedAwesome Day

Half Day Trip AM on April 25, 2025 • 2 adultsFor a half or full day of fishing, contact Captain Drake at Victory Bay Charters. He grew up on the water here and has the gear and knowledge to get fish on your line. We caught 5 different varieties of fish with 7 keepers. Great day on the bay!

Summer Trout and Bull Reds on August 12, 2023 • 2 adultsOur trip started at 5:30am in August 2023. Captain Drake was on time and had the boat ready for us. He explained clearly what to expect on a day with such a brutal heat as we have this summer. After a short ride before sunrise, we arrive to a spot where we started getting hits right away. Two bull reds, 19lb drum and lots of trout. Captain Drake is a professional in his business and made this trip very enjoyable. I highly recommend Victory Bay for your next fishing adventure. If there’s fish out there, Captain Drake will find it!
