December fishing trip

He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Helpful with the kids and wanting to make sure you got the experience you were looking for! Great day of fishing. Lots of laughs and new fish we've never seen or experienced before. Not only did we catch for fun, but he also got us on some Keepers for dinner that night! Definitely booking him again!!

Tarpon trip with captain cody
4 Hour morning trip on June 22, 20242 adults

Me and my dad wanted to get on some tarpon and capt Cody did just that. Put us on fish and made memories while doing it. Captain Cody is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain why he does something. Felt like being on a boat with an old friend instead of a charter captain. Would highly recommend captain cody to anyone looking to do any sort of fishing!!

Tarpon

Captain Cody Williams started fishing in his early years by fishing with his grandfather. It started as a hobby with fishing for a few days a month but is now almost an everyday thing. Captain Cody grew up fishing all over Sarasota Bay up to Tampa Bay. Not only does he love fishing himself but he also loves the look on people's faces when they catch their first fish, he's just as excited as they are. The captain hopes to see you and your family on your next fishing adventure.
