New Smyrna Beach, United States
25+ reviews
Captain Blake started fishing when he was young and became a passionate fisherman by the age of 12. He knows the area like the back of his hand and loves to put clients on a fish. He himself is an avid fisherman and the time flies when he is on the water and full day seems not to be enough (his wife and younger kids would disagree). Capt. Blake has three kids and the oldest one shares his passion for fishing. They participate in tournaments together and this year he won Redfish tournament with his son.

    Half Day Trip with Captain Blake

    Half Day Trip (AM)

    Captain Blake was fantastic! He had everything ready to go as soon as we got there including ice, water, and everything to clean fish as well as package it once the day was done! Our first stop we slayed the trout and the rest of the day we got the opportunity to catch big red fish and more trout! We hit our limit on trout and redfish early in the morning so we spent the rest of the time trophy fishing! It was a great experience and one we will 100% recommend to anybody! We will be booking our next trip soon!

    Half day with Captain Blake - and Jessie the fishin’ dog

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    Not generally a review writer, but felt compelled due to the fantastic experience with Blake. We had an unbelievably terrible weather day with temps in the 40’s to start the day (following a week of warm spring weather) and wind blowing 30 out of the north all day long. The conditions were miserable. It was our literal go or go home day—last day of vacation. Blake’s positive attitude put us at ease immediately and he knew the perfect areas to protect us from the weather. Even more impressive, he got us on the fish immediately, as well. He kept us on the bite, despite the conditions, with a well planned out playbook—and a giant sense of adventure that had us excited to see his next move in unpredictable shallows. Most importantly, he was the perfect balance of patient, knowledgeable, and aggressive that led to a great day on the water for my son and I—we will see him next trip for sure!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for sticking out the weather!! Looking forward to fishing with you and your son again!!
