    Half Day with Captain Blake

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 21, 2023 • 4 adults

    My family of 4 had the most enjoyable and memorable day fishing with Captain Blake. It was our first time fishing and Captain Blake worked hard to find us some fish to catch. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and his boat felt safe and clean. Prior to our trip, Captain Blake maintained great communication. He kept us informed of potential threats of thunderstorms and poor fishing conditions. Ultimately, we decided to reschedule our trip to a better day and it worked out in our favor. I highly recommend Hunkerdown and won't hesitate reaching out to him next time we are in town!

    Half day with Blake, Hunker Down

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on April 5, 2023 • 3 adults

    The trip was Great! First time my son fished in Florida and the trip was perfect. Blake took care of everything and will let you do as much or as little of the work as you want from baiting the hook to preparing your catch. Highly recommend Hunker Down!

    Great backcountry trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on April 24, 2026 • 2 adults

    Superb inshore trip with Captain Blake! He is very knowledgeable and focused on getting fish. Worked a lot of varied spots in concert with the tides. Caught flounder, sea trout, etc. will definitely go again but go with a longer 6-hour trip to give more options.

    Great morning of inshore fishing

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 14, 2024 • 1 adult

    Captain Blake is super knowledgeable of the waters of this area. Kept us around fish all morning under hot conditions and warm water. If you get a chance to take a 1-2 person trip in the 17 foot boat you will not be disappointed

    Excellent experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on November 21, 2023 • 4 adults • 3 children

    Captain Blake was awesome. We caught multiple fish, a few keepers. Hit multiple spots but didn’t rush around. Very patient and knowledgeable I’d highly recommend.

    Dude Day

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 5, 2022 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Great day on the water with captain Blake. My son (9) and I caught quite a bit of fish (flounder, red, trout, and cats), but unfortunately they were all undersize except a weakfish. Captain Blake did a great job putting us on the fish though. If we could pick the size fish we reeled in, there wouldn’t be any big ones for next time!
