You could say this….We booked this trip as a Mother’s Day gift for our Mom. There were four of us in all. None of us have been on a fishing trip like this and it turned out to be the highlight of our vacation. Captain Bill was entertaining and knowledgeable. He helped the beginners just enough to make the trip a learning experience as well as an adventure. My sister and mom caught several vermilion snapper while my cousin and I reeled in snd released a 35 lb amberjack which was way harder than we expected but a great experience. Highly recommend booking with Captain Bill…you will be really glad you did!
We had the best outing today! We met at 6:30am and by the time we anchored shortly after 7:00, the kids were immediately reeling in fish! We caught close to 100 fish as a family of six in four hours! The weather was beautiful, Bill and Will were so friendly and helpful, and it was an awesome outing! If we make our way back to Orange Beach, we will definitely book again!
Our family recently had the pleasure of embarking on a deep sea fishing adventure with Captain Bill. As parents of three teens, we began the day not knowing what to expect but then ending the day with a boatload of memories, sage fishing wisdom, and a surprisingly large catch of fish that we got to take home and eat. From curing seasickness, to helping us finally catch the “one the kept getting away”, Captain Bill was the ideal guide. His patience, humor, and kindness, was exactly what our family needed to put us at ease on the high seas.
Captain Bill put us on fish all day long. Bill and deck hand Will keep you ready to go and engage with everyone to make sure its a fun time. We caught a lot of fish and several different species. A great captain who you can tell really enjoys putting the people on the fish. We will definitely be returning customers.
We had the absolute best time with Bill! He is so knowledgeable and helpful! He was so kind and great with our kids! This was their first experience and he made it a great one! Unfortunately the waters weren’t in the best conditions for fishing thanks to the recent hurricane but he still made it fun and we still had some great catches! I will always recommend Bill and cant wait to go back out again!
