I’ve gone fishing with Captain Jake twice, and cannot wait to do it again. His attitude toward fishing is amazing!! He’s extremely knowledgeable and teaches you new things about angling to make you a better fisherman. Most importantly he lands you on the fish...here fishy fishy fishy

Took a 4 hour Inshore trip with Captain Jake and had a BLAST! 5 of us total and not experienced at all fisherman - He helped us unhook our fish, bait our fish, fix our tangled lines all while telling jokes and having a great attitude. Made the trip really fun. We bagged 20 some fish, and even had time to try our hand with some Snook fishing. When we got back he filleted all our fish for us.
Serious kudos to AMI Charters and Captain Jake for showing us a great time on the water for our stay at AMI. Will definitely be using next February when we’re back!

We had a great afternoon on 12/31 with Captain Scott..we had planned on a trip on Christmas Eve but the weather was not great so Scott was able to reschedule us for New Year's Eve and it was just a perfect afternoon. My oldest son caught a 33 inch Snook and it was Awesome to watch him reel in this fish. Scott made sure my youngest son caught the last fish of the day and as a mom it was so great that he did that for my little guy. We had great conversations during the trip too! His jokes are great!!

Wanted to take my 2 grandsons fishing but did not to chance rough seas or too long of a trip so booked a 2 hour charter for first time fishing. Captain Michael kept in contact with me advising me of weather conditions and where to meet for departure. Upon arrival I explained that this would be their first time fishing from a boat and that I was just there to assist. Michael set out and within 15/20 minutes we were ready to fish, he explained that he would toss initially some live bait and get their lines ready . Within 10 minutes we had our first snook on the boat and within 20 minutes we had 3 in and 1 lost. Decided to move to another spot and the same scenario "fish on" and all was good. These 2 first time fishermen were satisfied, the trip was just long enough to keep their enthusiasm and the Captian made certain that they each caught an equal amount of fish. Cannot thank Captain Michael enough for a great trip. We will be back and to all reading this take the time and enjoy the ride.

Had an amazing day with Capt. Jake fly fishing in the skinny water backcountry around Anna Maria and places beyond. Capt. Jake is super fishy and has a great ability to spot and stalk fish. We did most of the day fly fishing, but he also had spin gear at the ready when needed! Aside from fishing, Jake is super personable and a great communicator and teacher. He can cast a fly “a country mile” and is ready to offer tips and instruction. I highly recommend Capt. Jake and I will absolutely book him again!

Captain Blake was a wonderful guide and all around fishing captain. A short ride between spots we spent the majority of the time with lines in the water (which wasn’t the case with other charters we’ve been on).
We took our three little ones one the kids charter and it was more than worth it. Everyone caught multiple fish (snook, trout and even a small barracuda!).
Highly recommended for both Blake as a captain and AMI charters!

Absolutely amazing! We caught close to 100 fish with 32 being keepers. Caught mangrove snapper, grouper, squirrel fish, grunts, sea bass, sheepshead, puffer fish, porgy, hog fish, triggerfish and spotted pin fish. Captain Blake was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and funny. He even shared some corny jokes. He knew some many great spots to fish and was great about keeping our hooks baited.
We've done many fishing charters all over the world and this one was the most enjoyable!

We did the 4 hour fishing trip with Captain Blake and a had a terrific morning. There were 4 of us and when the fish let up at the 1 mile, we went a little further out and kept getting hits and fish.
Blake is an excellent guide/captain, from knowing where the fish are, keeping us on them, teaching us how to catch them and some great driving through a little bit of chop on the water. Thanks and look forward to going again!

Best fishing experience ever with Capt. Jake. He was at the dock early waiting for us with a blacked out live well full of bait and the rods rigged. We didn’t waste anytime getting on fish and we had a blast. He’s awesome and a lot of fun to be around. We caught snook, reds and juvenile tarpon in the morning. In the afternoon we switched it up and shot stingrays with a bow on the flats then used them as bait to catch sharks and Goliath grouper. We couldn’t of asked for a better day or captain to share it with. I have fished a lot for different species and by far this captain knew his stuff. Not to mention he didn’t have old worn out equipment like most charters. His boat is sweet and had plenty of room for the 4 of us. He made us feel like we were part of his family. Everything was first class including his attitude and work ethic. I highly recommend Capt. Jake.

We took a half day tour with Captain Jake. I highly recommend booking with AMI Charters, easy to book & reschedule when the weather didn’t cooperate for original tour. He offered different options and took us to his favorite hot spots. Lots of catch & release species which was fun. If you’re looking for a great fishing guide experience this is the place.
