My two boys ages 12 and 10 had a blast on their first fishing charter thanks to Captain Billy. The weather was extremely hot and so was the water which normally is not a good combination for fishing, but the captain did everything he could to make sure that these kids had a memorable experience . Words cannot express how happy it made me to see my boys having a good time on the water and the fact that the captain went out of his way to make sure that these kids caught fish made it all the better. We come to Ocean Isle yearly, and this will be part of our tradition . Thank you Captain Billy for an amazing day on the water ! 
We booked a 2hr kids fishing trip with Capt. Baxley. We all had such a great time! Capt. Billy made us all feel welcome from the first hello. After a nice ride just a short piece off shore he had our boys fishing in minutes. he was well prepared, knowledgeable and just an all around nice guy! Dont hesitate, take the trip with him, I’m so glad we did, and we will be booking with him in the future for sure!!
Captain Billy was great! This was a perfect trip for our 4 year old twins and 9 year old. Captain was all about making sure the kids were engaged and having fun, while teaching them about the fish and wildlife. He also made sure that we kept catching. I am ready to go on another fishing trip; maybe this time without the kids! 😉
We had such a great time out there! It was one of those trips where everything just clicked. We were catching black bass, grunts, and even some Spanish mackerel which made it so much fun. The captain was super easygoing but clearly knew exactly what he was doing, and that made the whole experience even better. It never felt rushed, just a really laid-back, good day on the water. Definitely one of those trips you leave already wanting to book again. We’ll for sure be back!
My 4.5 yo son and I went out with Captain Billy recently and had a great time! My son is just starting to get into fishing, and Captain Billy was so nice and patient with him--he has a grandson about the same age, and it certainly shows. We caught a lot of fish, which was great for reinforcing my son's love of the sport. And one of the major highlights for my kid was that captain Billy let him steer the boat, which he hasn't stopped talking about since. We'll certainly go back out with him when we are back down in Ocean Isle, and hopefully my younger son can tag along in future years. Thanks so much for all of the memories.
