i took my family on a half day charter with Captain Billy and we had a wonderful time! we hooked into a bonnethead shark and landed it! It was so cool and I will never forget it. Captain Billy was great and extremely knowledgeable. i would recommend this trip to anyone that wants a fun experience fishing on the ocean! thank I hope to book this trip again in the future. thank you Captain Billy for a very memorable experience!
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.
I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Captain Bill Baxley, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget! From the moment we set sail, Captain Bill’s passion for fishing and knowledge of the waters were evident. He took the time to explain the best techniques and shared tips that really made a difference in our catch. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, making our day on the water enjoyable. We were fortunate to reel in some impressive catches, and Captain Bill was always there to help and ensure we were having a great time. His enthusiasm and dedication to providing an excellent experience were truly commendable. If you’re looking for a fantastic fishing adventure, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Bill Baxley. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, he tailors the experience to fit everyone’s needs. Can’t wait for my next trip!
We did a 2 hour trip and Billy was very honest and upfront about the conditions over the last several weeks and limited fishing conditions. We did not catch anything but still had a great time! Highly recommend
