3rd generation Indian Rocks beach Fl native. Been fishing my whole life! Have won numerous tournaments and grew up commercial and charter fishing. Staying on the water everyday makes all the difference in the world when trying to read patterns and this is what I strive for even when I’m not working. Our most sought after fish here in Tampa Bay is the Tarpon. This is by far my favorite species to target in the summer! When I was younger I spent many days on the water with my father who was big into tournaments and spear fishing. He was the reason for all my fishing success.

My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Jake today. Although it may have been a little less action than expected, he made the effort hitting up multiple spots and giving us every opportunity to catch as many fish as possible! Very professional but also made it fun with the conversations and information about the wildlife in the area. Highly recommended, and we’ll be hitting up Captain Jake the next time we’re...

We had a great time. Jake was amazing and was very patient with my 6 year old granddaughter. I would recommend him for sure. We caught fish and saw many dolphins. All around nice trip.

What can I say about this trip. Yes I'm sure we got a bit lucky, but Captain Jake got his own bait, put us on fish immediately and we had a blast. We caught 6 different species on light tackle from spanish mackerel, to catfish, to black tip sharks. It was already an amazing trip. Then we got the heavy tackle out and hooked into a hammerhead, more black tips, and the absolute icing on...

What can I say about this trip. Yes I'm sure we got a bit lucky, but Captain Jake got his own bait, put us on fish immediately and we had a blast. We caught 6 different species on light tackle from spanish mackerel, to catfish, to black tip sharks. It was already an amazing trip. Then we got the heavy tackle out and hooked into a hammerhead, more black tips, and the absolute icing on the cake was a giant 150 lb Tarpon. This was my dream, and Jake made it happen. I couldn't recommend him more. He is very knowledgeable, takes his profession very seriously and is fun and personable at the same time! Do not hesitate to pick captain Jake for your next trip
