Captain Will was a tremendous guide with excellent service and equipment. His Boat was extremely spacious which made for easy access to move around and cast your rod.. Even with a NE wind between 12-18 mph all day he maneuvered with precision through out the day. He optimized our chances on a tough day with tips and techniques for my wife and I both and landed 10+ Snook on less then ideal conditions (wind wise). Conversations with Captain Will were easy and some local knowledge of the area was appreciated. I recommend Captain Will for anyone looking for a good time with family & friends no matter your skill level he will get you right. Thanks again Capt.
Myself and 4 other people had an awesome time. My crew and I signed up for a 6-hour excursion; however, Captain Will left the option open to add on two additional hours if we wanted. We were kind of skeptical about the weather and the effects that it might have had on our day. However, Captain Will was able to take us to the right spots where were able to land snook, trout, and redfish. He had all of the particulars taken care, such as bait, tackle, and the licensing. I highly recommend him and will definitely go out with him and his son again in the future.
Awesome time with captain Will! He was great and the fishing was incredible! He knew how to put us on the fish and was a lot of fun! Thanks cap!!!
We had an amazing day fishing with Captain Will. We caught several fish, Will filleted them and put then on ice for us. We had an overall great adventure.
We could not have had a better day of back country fishing than we did with the guys. They had us catching snook within ten minutes , and ended the day with a monster sea trout. My friend and I fought 33 fish in our competition - would have been more if we hadn’t missed a few! The boat was immaculate, and we felt like we made two new friends. I’ve charted lots of fishing days - these guys are pros. We will definitely charter again.
