Pictures from some great trips!

Liam got it all today, we made quick work of catching dinner offshore, and then we came inshore and caught redfish before stopping at the famous @cabbage_key #bluelinefishingcharters #takeakidfishing #powerpole #offshorefishing #inshorefishing #redfish #grouper #swfl #sanibelisland #captivaisland #capecoral #fortmyers

Really grateful for some loyal clients willing to take the chance and go fishing. Despite all the bad breaks that keep coming to SWFL, we were able to get offshore past the dirty water and have two great days of snapper fishing. #bluelinefishingcharters #offshorefishing #snapper #swfl #sanibelisland #captivaisland #pineislandsound #capecoral #fortmyers #powerpole

It’s been a little over a month since I’ve fished so I desperately needed to get out. Today did the heart and mind a lot of good. I took my dad and neighbor @whatthehylton and a bunch of shrimp. We ran offshore and quickly caught enough snapper for dinner before coming back in and getting a snook. We were off the water by 11. The nearshore bite was great and we saw a lot of life inshore as well. @bluelinefishingcharters is open for business and ready to get back to fishing. #bluelinefishingcharters #tripletail #inshorefishing #offshorefishing #snook #swfl #captivaisland #sanibelisland #capecoral #hurricaneian #fortmyers

I apologize for the poor quality, but this is a video my client was taking yesterday that caught the boat crash. The “captain” was on plane doing an estimated 35 mph in a no wake zone. He was attempting to cross a shallow sand bar when his boat hit bottom and he was ejected. The others on the boat had no idea that the “captain” was ejected and the boat continued on plane. The boat came to a stop because it hit the broadside of a partially sunken sailboat. Very scary situation that could have ended far worse. Hire a licensed and insured captain with local knowledge. Right now is not the time for rookies. Volume up! #sanibelisland #bluelinefishingcharters #swfl #capecoral #captivaisland #fortmyers #hurricaneian

The last few days have been good for the heart. Just people helping people with no talk of politics or any of the other bullshit plaguing this country. On Sunday @rj_hagewood and I helped boatload after boatload of people off of Pine Island. Yesterday I picked up a truck load of donations that @diamondb_livestock arranged and transported over. Then today Vance and I got to deliver the donations to some friends who desperately needed them on N Captiva Island. Hopefully the next step is to move out of Lauren’s office and back to our house. #bluelinefishingcharters #hurricaneian #sanibelisland #captivaisland

After a couple days of helping friends and family

After a couple days of helping friends and family around the city we hit the jackpot when Lauren’s office got power back. We have been living better then most in our area. The tour starts with the kitchen/ shower area and takes you into our bedroom. Very grateful to have this space to return to after each day. #bluelinefishingcharters #hurricaneian

It’s been an unbelievable week with so many emot

It’s been an unbelievable week with so many emotions and memories throughout. Service has been spotty so I’m posting this in phases because there’s a lot. As a 5th generation Floridian hurricanes are nothing new. We prepare each year and have a few close calls, but rarely anything too exciting. This one was completely different. We had an unrelenting category 4 hurricane sit on top of us for a full day. At four hours in with no relief it began to sink in that staying was a huge mistake. I stood at the door for 9 hours watching my town blow away and praying that my house held up because my family was inside with me. Vance spent most of the day in the closet and was so brave and good throughout the day without one complaint. We lost power and communication with the outside world pretty early. We finally got out a crank up radio around 8pm just to confirm there was still life out there. We were able to get in a radio station from the Tampa area and they didn’t offer much help. Finally around 10:30 the winds were down to 30 mph with gusts of 50 mph. Immediately we went into recovery mode getting the generator out and taking down shutters in order to get a breeze. It was too dark to really asses any damages. After about 3 restless hours of sleep the sun came up to a beautiful day with no humidity and a slight breeze. I was relieved to find how lucky we were. Our house held up very well losing gutters, fencing, and shutters. What a relief even the trucks and boats were in great shape. Then we got to work checking friends and families houses, trying to recover what we could from the worst of the damaged houses. We finished day one with a bath in the neighbors pool. Pictures are from the day of the storm and the day after including my grandmothers destroyed home that her and grandpa had built in the 60’s, our house, my in-laws house and other damage from our city #bluelinefishingcharters #capecoral #sanibelisland #captivaisland

Yesterday was another great day getting to fish the LCEC tournament with the Thrifty Hookers. We dealt with terrible wind and thunderstorms all day, plus heavy pressure from two other tournaments. But we made the most of it and finished 3rd out of 60 boats. I was happy to see a great turnout for a great cause and I look forward to next year. Also a big thanks to Dierdra, Frank, Lisa, and Karen for choosing me to fish these tournaments with you. #bluelinefishingcharters #snook #redfish #trout #inshorefishing #pineislandsound #captivaisland #sanibelisland #capecoral #fortmyers

I love fishing this time of year. We started with snook and redfish in the mangroves then moved on to catching trout, snapper, and gag grouper for dinner. We finished with more snook and this monster 40” redfish before cutting it short and running from the thunderstorms. #bluelinefishingcharters #snook #trout #redfish #inshorefishing #pineislandsound #swfl #capecoral #fortmyers #captivaisland #sanibelisland #FJB

As the legal regulations on keeping snook and redf

As the legal regulations on keeping snook and redfish change on September 1st, I’d like to take a moment to remind all of my clients that the policy on my boat has not changed. I will not be keeping snook or redfish, they will both remain a sport fish only while on my boat. If you want to eat snook or redfish then I am not the guide for you. This decision has generational effects and there’s far more important things to me then selling fishing charters. - Keith #bluelinefishingcharters #snook #redfish #pineislandsound #lethtemgoletthemgrow #takeakidfishing

Really fun morning getting to know a couple of our new neighbors. I hope that I didn’t ruin bass fishing for them. #bluelinefishingcharters #inshorefishing #snook #redfish #swfl #sanibelisland #captivaisland #capecoral #pineislandsound #fortmyers

Fun morning fishing with Buddy, he waited 89 years to get his first inshore slam. We just missed the grand slam when the leader broke on a tarpon. I hope we get a chance to do it again soon. #bluelinefishingcharters #snook #trout #redfish #tarpon #swfl #pineislandsound #sanibelisland #captivaisland #capecoral

Nothing better then checking off all the boxes and helping families make amazing memories. The Tasker boys will have no shortage of stories to tell when they get home. #bluelinefishingcharters #takeakidfishing #inshorefishing #snook #shark #swfl #capecoral #fortmyers #sanibelisland #captivaisland #pineislandsound

Also I want to say a big thank you to the Thrifty Hookers for presenting me the first place trophy from the 2021 LCEC tournament, I really appreciate it. #bluelinefishingcharters

Another great FSU tournament with the Thrifty Hookers. Big snook Karen got us off to a quick start and Frank followed up with a solid redfish. Congratulations to Karen for taking home the trophy for top female angler with this big snook. Always a great time with this team and looking forward to the LCEC tournament with them. #bluelinefishingcharters #snook #redfish #trout #swfl #inshorefishing #pineislandsound #captivaisland #sanibelisland #fortmyers #capecoral #FJB
