Half Day Trip (PM)
Great day catching!
My husband and I hired Captain Bill to take us for a four hour fishing excursion. My sister-in-law and my niece (21 year old) were joining us. We were staying with them in Cape Coral for the weekend. Instead of having to meet Captain Bill in Fort Myers, he offered to pick us up in Cape Coral, which was great! Also, he called us the evening before, and offered to change the timing of the trip as there was rain coming. We truly appreciated this as we were not interested in fishing in the rain. He went to four different locations to fish. At the first location, we didn’t have the lines in the water for 5 minutes, and we started catching. We ended up catching most of the trip. Would highly recommend this Captain.

Captain Bill the best
He was very accommodating, gracious, patient and knowledgeable. His equipment was well maintained. The only thing lacking was a cup holder or two. Best trip FL fishing I have ever had. Thank you Captain Bill.
