Had a blast, recommend
I fished with Blake late December 2025. Told him I was mostly after bonefish but it was a dream to catch a permit on the fly. Blake was flexible on start time and we got on the water early and managed to squeeze in a 9 hour day even though I was flying out that evening. The weather was beautiful and Blake's knowledge of the area put us on bonefish on most flats we looked, and I managed to land one of the best bonefish of my life in a most spectacular place--something that will stick with me forever. Also had multiple shots on barracuda, and did get a shot at a permit. Blake did a good job of setting up a communication system between he and I so when he spotted a fish I was likely to put a fly in the right spot. He's a really good communicator--tells you what he's seeing and what he's thinking, and by the afternoon I was spotting fish myself. He has deep knowledge of the flora and fauna and I learned a lot, not just about bonefish and permit, but turtles, manta rays, etc. I had a really good time and would love the opportunity to fish with Blake again, and would recommend him to anyone who wants to experience the majesty of the Keys with a really good dude.
