You’ll cast into the surf for species like Pompano, Whiting, and Redfish.

For a boat-based experience, Captain Blake and his ream run a fully equipped 24’ Blue Wave center console, offering a smooth and comfortable ride for up to 6 anglers. Target inshore favorites like Redfish, Trout, and more while enjoying a hassle-free trip—no fishing license required for passengers.

Whether you're casting from the beach or fishing the flats, Captain Blake and his team are dedicated to delivering a safe, enjoyable, and memorable outing on the beautiful waters of Florida’s 30A coast.

Never met Blake. He was away on a hunting trip. Got bumped down to a guy named Nico that worked for him. He was a nice guy. Did his best I guess. Fishing was a bust. Everyone that had their fingers in it were paid

Trip: Surf Fishing Santa Rosa Beach

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Frank this is Attison with Captain Experiences. I'm sorry to hear that the trip didn't live up to expectations for your group. We can't control how the fish are biting, but Nico did give you an extra hour on the water because things were slow. We've reached out to see what we can do to get you on a future trip and get you on some more fish next time!
