You can’t go wrong when you Fish With a Pro. Captain William offers exciting fishing trips for anglers of all skill levels. He has been tournament fishing and guiding on Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades for over 25 years.

Captain William has tournament fished against some of the top pros in the world. Pros such as Roland Martin, Kevin Van Dam, Michael Iaconelli, Shaw Grigsby, and Jimmy Houston just to name a few. With that comes a wealth of knowledge of where the hot spots are and how to catch them.

Captain William has been fishing on the FLW and B.A.S.S. circuit for over 23 years. He’s a 4-time Florida B.A.S.S. Nation Angler of the Year, a 2-time Walmart BFL Champion, and a 2-time Florida B.A.S.S. Nation-State Champion to boot. Including his recent 2021 Florida B.A.S.S. Nation-State Title win! These are just a few of the many titles Capt. William holds, so if you are up for some top-notch fishing, join him in the majestic Everglades!

Just take a look at the pictures and videos, and you will understand that the captain’s main goal is to put you on fish. He works hard to make every trip an incredible one!

He will take you out aboard his spacious 20’ Triton Bass boat. Thanks to her 200 HP Mercury engine, you’ll be on the fishing grounds in no time. She has plenty of room for anglers to master their cast and make an outstanding catch possible.

Once aboard, you will be able to use the finest tournament-grade tackle to land Largemouth and Peacock Bass. Capt. William will provide you with artificial lures but you can also fish with wild shiners at an extra cost.

This bass boat is outfitted with an ice-box for your snacks & refreshments.
