Well, first and foremost, you will get much more than a fishing guide with Capt. Bill. You will get a teacher, history buff and all around great guy. He was in contact with me throughout the few days I was out here. I did not have alot of flexibility to move my days around. Day of my trip, very nasty cold front had come through the previous afternoon. The temps dropped like a rock and the wind was howling. Capt. Bill communicated that we would not be able to go open water, too dangerous. He had a game plan for fishing the mangroves. We had a blast, for poor weather conditions, no shrimp (due to the boats not going g out from the storms the day before) he caught our bait fish and we did his damndest to get us on the fish. We were the only boat out fishing. We caught little stuff, nothing worth mentioning here but he did his best, extended the trip some. When conditions are what they were, I think most would stay at the dock, he said let’s go and put together a game plan that was safe and fun. I will be back and I recommend you give Capt. Billy a try. He is good people and a great guide.

Captain Bill saw that the weather was less than desirable so he adjusted his schedule and we went earlier than his normal schedule.  He was extremely friendly and professional from the jump.  He discussed his game plan for the morning and where we would be fishing.  When it was a little slower to start, he changed things up and we started pulling up Blackfin Tuna and even nabbed a Sailfish before he jumped off the line as we were close to pulling him in.  We would recommend Captain Bill/TailGators to anyone wants a fun day of fishing. Thanks again Captain Bill!!

Had a half day charter with Captain Bill and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Was myself and my 8 year old boy and we were put on fish immediately! Caught several mangrove snappers, a jack crevalle, and sea trout. Had plenty for a nice fish fry that night! Captain was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the fish, and very friendly. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Keys charter, and we will definitely be repeat customers. Thanks again, Captain!

I have to say that fishing with Capt Bill was great. As we motored out to the spot he explained what and how we were going to find fish. I had hoped for a Sailfish or a Dolphin with the idea the fish may not get the memo. Here is the Dolphin I caught, 20 lbs and 35 inches lone. She put up a heck of a fight. Thanks Bill for a great afternoon on the water, the seas were calm and the weather was perfect. Steve M, Plano TX

Bill was very into “service” and doing his best to make it as great of a fishing experience as possible. He is very down to earth, super nice, the perfect fishing guide in Key Largo (or anywhere)!!! Huge recommendation.
