St. Augustine, FL, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedFather/Son Fishing trip!
3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore • 2 adultsWe 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.

Geraldine TraynorNew Jersey, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedCapt Blake of HunkerDown was excellent.
Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adultsWe had booked an 8a.m boat trip. Capt Blake contacted us and gave us the option of going in the afternoon because the fishing would be better. He was friendly, professional, very knowledgeable on where to go to catch fish. He instructed our grandson on the skills of fishing and showed him how to filet fish. We caught over 12 fish. We highly recommend him and hope to go fishing with him again.
Eric KostenRepeat anglerLeonardtown, MD, US•Member since 2024•11 trips5.0VerifiedGreat backcountry trip!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 2 adultsSuperb 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.
Response from CaptainThanks Eric!

Half Day Trip – Inshore • 2 adultsmy son and I had a great insbire trip with Blake. He is very friendly and he explaines everything in detail. it was an unseasonally cold day and he had to tey so many spots until we went to a spot with a lot of hungry fish (Reds and Trouts). Enjoyed the nature, conversation and catch and release of many many fish. I would definitely recommend captain Blake to any family.

Half Day Trip – Inshore • 4 adultsCaptain Blake was very knowledgeable and very patient with those of us new to fishing. We caught far more fish than expected and were very pleased with the entire experience. Hopefully we'll be chartering with him again in the future and highly recommend him.

Bull Redfish Bite is HOT!
Oct 9, 2022 • Jacksonville Beach
Every year we experience a huge increase in Bull Redfish (Redfish that are 30+ inches up to 50+ inches). That time of year is RIGHT NOW!
These giants flood into the St. Johns river and surrounding waters to breed. We have been catching them consistently for a little over a month now and the bite hasn’t slowed down a bit.
A 4hr or 6hr Inshore fishing charter is a great way to experience this Bull Redfish season and have a great day on the water.
