This is our second charter with Captain Bill, and once again it was a great time! We caught some sea trout, snappers, jacks, snook, and cats. This was my son’s girlfriend’s first time to Florida, and her first time fishing from a boat. She’s super shy, and very quiet but Bill had her confident to cast her own line, and she ended up catching the most fish! She had a ton of fun! Bill is just an all around cool dude, that will help the most inexperienced angler or will hang back and let you do your thing. We highly recommend Captain Bill, you won’t regret it! Until next year!!!
My family (my husband, and 17 yr old son and myself) had the pleasure chartering with Captain Bill. We had an outstanding time! Capt. Bill put us on some monster sea trout, snapper, and snook! And while it’s out of season for snook it was such a blast to catch!! As the captain himself quoted “like bass on steroids” couldn’t have been anymore on target with that! So much fun!! We are freshwater fisherman that love the challenge of saltwater fishing on vacation, and Capt. Bill knew all the tips and tricks to land some giants! He was patient, and had tons of knowledge to share. We will booking next year with Capt. Bill, planning for a full day at that! Thank you Bill, we can’t wait for our next trip with ya! Book with this charter you will NOT be disappointed!!!
Captain Bill was everything we hoped for: professional, personable, knowledgeable and genuine. Went out with 2 buddies and we all caught keepers for dinner: Bill took care of everything right down to the baiting of our hooks. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. And reasonably priced compared to many others out there. Highly recommend Captain Bill.
This was more like going out on a good friend's boat than on a charter! I mean that in a good way. Bill and AJ could not have been more friendly and accommodating. They were attentive to anything we might need, and will give you as much or as little assistance as you want. The boat was in perfect condition, top notch tackle to use. We caught a variety of fish (snook, bonnet shark, mutton snapper, gag grouper). I learned some good stuff from both Bill and his son AJ. AJ, Bill's son, is a stud fisherman and first mate. It's like we got 2 top notch guides for the price of one. We were on a hot bite as the trip was scheduled to end, and Bill just kept us fishing way past when we should have been heading in. As I said, by the end of the trip it was like we were out on the water with our fishing buddies. Can't say enough about these two!
Steve, thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was our pleasure to meet the both of you. Looking forward to next time. Capt. Bill and Aj

Your captain
Placida, Florida, United States
A passion for fishing and a desire to be on the water has led me to become a captain and a fishing guide. I have been fishing the Venice, Englewood, and Placida waters since my family moved here in 1989. Fishing from shore, piers, and jetties is where i started out. I run a 22' Pathfinder bay boat for inshore and near shore trips. I find enjoyment and satisfaction in teaching others how to fish or putting an experienced angler on fish and seeing the look of excitement when they hook up.
