Wow what can I say captain Blake met us at his well equipped boat all prepped ready to go. We went immediately to a hot spot and the sun had just started to come up when bam fish on the line and it just got better from then on. We had a wonderful morning fishing and enjoying natures wonder seen a dolphin a wild pig and close up to North America rarest bird the Whopping Crane. Captain Blake is very knowable about fishing used the best equipment and eager to explain salt water fishing methods to the novice. He is very aware of and respectful of the environment. You can’t go wrong with Captain Blake 7 star rating

Had a great time with Captain Blake, even though it was cold all day, he kept us on fish at every spot we went too. He took the time to answer all our questions and explain what kind of spots he looks for and how he fishes depending on season, weather etc. Capt Blake is a very knowledgeable guide and we can’t wait to get back out on the water with him.

My son and I just finished our bay fishing trip with Captain Blake and it was a terrific experience. Captain Blake went out of his way to make sure we were always catching fish. Captain Blake is friendly and as easy going as a person can be. We really enjoyed fishing with him and look forward to our next trip with him for some deep water fishing.

Fishing with Texas Crew’d and Captain Blake feels like fishing with a family member.  From the moment you board the boat you will realize this is not your old foul mouthed grumpy captain who wants you off his boat as fast as possible.  There are no long lists of rules and threats about damaging equipment.  Instead, Captain Blake is the consummate professional taking time to teach you how to use the equipment and then actually letting you fish with it instead of just reeling in what he catches.  He tries hard to get you where the fish are and will keep moving the boat until you find them.  The boat and equipment are clean and in good shape.  He is very family friendly and patient with those that are younger or inexperienced.  We especially appreciated that he doesnt have the vocabulary of a sailor and I wouldnt hesitate to bring kids with you.  We took two trips with the Captain.  One a bay trip where we caught many nice fish.  We used live shrimp and had a few problems at first keeping them on the hooks when casting.  Captain Blake was very patient and kept three of us with baited hooks at all times despite our lack of technique at first and throwing a lot of the shrimp off the hooks as we casted.  The Captain cleaned the fish and even bagged them into appropriate sized portions to take to a local restaurant to get cooked.  We also took a flounder gigging trip, which is also highly recommended.  His crew is attentive to detail and fun to be around as well.  We had never been gigging before and didn’t think to bring mosquito repellent.  His crewmember Jason was quick to pull out his own repellent and let us use it to protect ourselves.  It may seem like a small thing but it made the trip more enjoyable and fun.  Unfortunately,some unexpected bad weather cut our trip short.  I was impressed with Captain Blake’s attention to monitoring the weather and quick decision to get us off the water and to safety even though the storms were initially far away.  Despite the weather being out of their control Captain Blake and Jason were very apologetic and initially were not going to charge us for the trip since we had to cut it short.  We insisted that we pay for at least the time and expenses we had incurred. At our request, he did bill us but he had to have lost money on the deal as what he charged us was nominal. Needless, to say Texas Crew’d has a client for life.  We are already planning our next trip back!
