We had a great trip, the bite was a little slower than the last few days, probably from a front that came in. We still managed to catch fish and have a wonderful day, was a little chilly but beautiful blue skies. Matt manged to put us on fish, and we moved quite often searching for the multiple bite. We had a wonderful day fishing and really enjoyed spending the day with Matt.Awesome time and we definitely recommend fishing with Matt, and look forward to fishing again with Billy Chapman Charters, 100%.
Capt. Billy was absolutely great. Knowledgeable, polite, and a great captain for our trip. He went out of his way to get us on the water and back home. Everything was perfect, and we had a great time. If you're looking for a quality charter. Look no further. Billy is your guy!
Captain Billy provided a great fishing experience. We caught limits of redfish and black drum; and a few speckled trout to add icing on the cake. I highly recommend him.
Captain Billy Chapman was prepared, well equipped, friendly and knowledgeable. We had some really tough conditions with it being March, windy, had a cold front pass through the day before and it rained all night. He still managed to put us on some trout. Even though fishing was a grind, it never felt like it. My son and I had a great time and would recommend Captain Billy Chapman for your guide needs on Big Lake.
We had a great time with Gary from start to finish. On a tough day for fishing we still managed to find some decent fish. Thanks Garry and Billy for a good day on the water.
