    Best Fathers Day Gift Ever!!!

    6 hour Trip – Lake Tarpon on June 21, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an amazing experience with Blake! He took my husband and son out and made sure they were on fish all day long. Blake knew exactly where to go and was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, even gave us some tips on other lakes to fish at! They caught a ton of fish and came back with memories they’ll be talking about for a long time. Blake was great to spend the day with on the water. Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or just looking for a fun day out on the water (or you want to send your husband away and havesome time to yourself) highly recommend booking a trip with him. Thank you, Blake, for making it such a memorable day for my guys! We will 100% see you again!

    A great day!

    4 Hour Trip – Lake Tarpon on June 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    We booked for an early morning, and Captain Blake messaged 30 minutes early to let me know he was ready whenever we showed up. He took us to a honey spot, and within 20 minutes of hitting the water, we got a couple bass by fishing topwater. Exciting action! All in, we caught caught 7 or 8 fish (lost count) in the short time we were out, but even more than catching, my favorite thing was the insight CB gave freely. He knows what to do to hook those fish! My son and I fish ponds a few times a week, and even though we see action, this morning he told me he started loving fishing today with CB guiding him to success! It was a great day!!! Highly recommend!

    Great Experience!

    4 Hour Trip – Lake Tarpon on September 6, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Blake was great! We were immediately on the fish, he was very knowledgeable. He spent the entire trip teaching my son that loves to fish all sorts of cool tips and tricks. He was also very patient and encouraged my other son who has special needs. Myself and boths boys brought in 8 fish which could have easily been 15-20 if we landed a few more bites. This trip was in the middle of summer which makes it even sweeter! We will definitely be back to do some more fishing woth Capt. Blake.

    Pro fishman!

    4 Hour Trip – Lake Tarpon on June 18, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    I took my son and his friend out fishing with Captain Blake, and it was a blast! Bass fishing is pretty tough this time of year with the warmer water, but Blake managed to find some great hot spots where the boys were pulling fish in back to back. He also took the time to teach them some good techniques and showed them all about the different baits and how to use them. Thanks again, Capt Blake, for making my son’s birthday special! He’s already back out on the water today, putting his new skills to use!

    Captain Blake was OUTSTANDING

    Lake Tarpon 4 hour evening on July 8, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt. Blake took my Daughter, Grandson and I fishing yesterday. We had a blast trying to get those sneaky fish to come out in the heat of the day. We boated 6 Large Mouth Bass with my grandson catching the biggest (awesome). We had 4 or 5 get all the way to the boat but they got off. An amazing time fishing with Captain Blake. He even taught this old dog a few new tricks. Strongest recommendation. Blake, I will be calling you in the fall/winter months to do this again.

    Had a GREAT time!!!!

    Lake Tarpon 4 hour evening on June 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Blake is VERY knowledgeable. He knew where to go for which fish. We were bass fishing and I decided I wanted to catch some bluegill. I asked and he headed their way. I landed 4 NICE bluegill, one being my personal best. I'm not into lures, as I prefer live bait. But, I listened to his guidance and landed my 1st bass on a lure. Several more followed leaving us with a nice full cooler. I not only recommend him, but plan to go out with him again in the future.

    The Perfect Fishing Trip

    3 hour Trip AM on May 30, 2026 • 1 adult

    I want to begin with saying Capt Blake is an extremely knowledgeable fisherman and can even be considered a pro at this point. He knows the waters very well and in the matter of the first 5 mins of the trip we caught a few fish and had many bites! He is a true representation of a Captain and I would recommend him to anyone from a beginner to an expert. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future as I had a great time and learned a lot. Thank you Blake!

    1st Florida Bass trip

    6 hour Trip – Lake Tarpon on May 19, 2026 • 2 adults

    Had a very enjoyable trip with Captain Blake. He was in contact before the trip letting us know what to expect. He was at the ramp before the scheduled time ready to go. We fished exactly as we had talked about before the trip. His equipment was in good shape and well stocked. The boat was in good condition with updated electronics. Blake worked hard all day trying to keep us on fish and we managed to catch fish from the 1st spot to the last. No giants today but that's fishing. Would highly recommend Captian Blake to anyone looking for a good time with a hard working Captian. Hope to get out on the water Captian Blake again soon.

    Fun day of fishing w/ Grandson

    4 Hour Trip – Lake Tarpon on October 14, 2026 • 3 adults

    Capt Blake is an excellent guide. While the bass weren't real active he put us on fish and we all caught some nice bass. Capt Blake taught my grandson how to fish the lures and he ended up catching the most fish. We made great memories and had a fun day. I highly recommend Capt Blake if you want to have a really fun fishing experience.

    Great day on the water!!!

    Lake Tarpon 4 hour evening on March 27, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Capt Blake was great!! Met us at the dock early and had everything ready to go. Very accommodating having bottled waters and snacks for us. He is extremely knowledgeable of the water and I loved that he spent a lot of time teaching my 12 year old about gear, fish, the water, and how to “properly” cast and get the feel of reeling in the line. He is very personable and has been hunting and fishing since he was 10. I would recommend this trip weather your seasoned or just a beginner.

    The weather was being tricky but Captain Blake didn't let that keep us from catching some fish. We hit a few spots, got some great bites and had a lot of fun. I've wanted to go bass fishing with my Dad for years and was able to make some wonderful memories.

    Even with a major summer storm rolling through, Captain Blake didn't miss a beat. He handled the rough water like a total pro and put us right on the fish. His local knowledge is insane. He told us exactly where to cast, and sure enough, we were hooking into fish consistently. On top of being an awesome guide who answered every single question we had, he really went above and beyond to make sure we were set up for success. I’ve been on plenty of other charters in this area, but Blake blew them all out of the water in every category. I honestly won't be booking with anyone else from now on. If you're looking for an incredible trip, I highly recommend him!

    We were three generations- grandpa, dad and son - and we had a great time! Captain Blake put us on the fish right away and worked hard to make sure everyone caught something. We learned a lot from him while having a great time. We will definitely book him again when we are in the area!
