ABOUT CASTAWAY CHARTERS

Captain Blake Wilson

Blake is originally from the Columbia, Missouri area where his passion for fishing began at an early age. At the ripe young age of 5 he declared to his mom, "I want to be a professional fisherman when I grow up!" He now lives in Hollister, Missouri with his wife Kara where he gets to live that dream.

​

Blake is best known for his role on Lilley's One Cast - a daily fishing show on Lake Taneycomo out of Lilleys' Landing Resort & Marina. Blake is very detail oriented and enjoys the intricacies of the ever changing Taneycomo trout bite. After 20+ years, thousands of casts, and countless fish caught, Blake now gets the most enjoyment from instilling his knowledge and passion for fishing with people of all ages. "Helping others catch fish is my joy and pleasure."
