AM 4 hr – Inshore/Flats on June 16, 2025

We booked a 4 hr inshore trip with Cap’t. Billy. We caught fish at every stop. This was a first time for my partner and he caught multiple Snapper and trout, 2sharks, a jack and some catfish. I caught snook, a flounder, and yes, more catfish.we saw dolphin and manatees as well. Billy was good at managing time and making sure we were catching. He was pleasant and taught us a lot. The boat was perfect. Highly recommend Billy!

3/4 Day Trip – Inshore/Flats on March 29, 2025

Captain Billy was awesome with our 2 sons. The morning started off slow, but he kept us moving until we found the fish. We asked for Reds and Snook and he put us on them. It was an enjoyable day on the water and he went out of his way to make sure we caught fish.

Great half day of fishing with Capt. Billy. Lots of fun and fish and great scenery. And enough sheepshead to feed the family tonight (we could have fed several families with all we released). Thanks Captain and Maxed Out!!
