Great morning of inshore fishing

6 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 14, 2024

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

4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 21, 2023

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!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore on April 5, 2023

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!
