    Father/Son Fishing trip!

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on March 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    We booked a father/son fishing trip with Captain Blake, and even though the weather didn’t exactly cooperate—cold and windy—it turned into one of the most memorable days we’ve had. Captain Blake put us on the fish despite the conditions, and the action stayed steady. We ended the trip with a great catch, but more importantly, my son had an incredible time. Watching him battle through the cold, stay locked in, and reel in fish after fish made me proud. It wasn’t the easiest day on the water, but honestly, that’s what made it special. Captain Blake kept things fun, positive, and productive the whole time. If you’re looking to make real memories with your kids, I can’t recommend this enough.

    Great Fishing

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on August 4, 2022 • 2 adults

    My son-in-law and I had a great time fishing with Capt Blake and HunkerDown Charters. Blake was a great guide and the boat and fishing gear were excellent. We chartered a 6 hour trip and Blake put us on some good fish. We caught a lot of fish and variety of fish that included some large Redfish! I will definitely be chartering another trip with Blake and HunkerDown Charters.

    This was an amazing trip. Captain Blake took us to great spot. Each spot we stopped at someone had something on the line. He showed us the best way to fish and we had great catches. We were taught how to properly cast and best way to fish at each spot. He even took a little extra time for us to see dolphins. Already excited to book again.
