We had the best time fishing with Captain Bill! The fish wanted to make it a challenge, but he worked hard to find us a couple hot spots where we caught grouper, porgy and lots of snapper. We are already looking forward to our next fishing trip with Captain Bill!

Cody has tons of knowledge and honesty the best tour guide we could have asked for. My wife and stepdaughter had such a great experience. Neither of them have been on a fishing charter but we're all so happy about our trip. Thanks Cody and we will see you for the next trip to Sanibel/Captiva!! Jim Ray

He went above and beyond for our group. We had myself and a bunch of teenagers. He showed us exactly where to cast and we caught so many we literally lost count. He was very patient and eager to keep our hooks baited and ready. I highly recommend Captain Todd!

Greg was awesome. He made my two kids really enjoy the trip. Knew where to go to put us on some fish. We consistently caught fish the whole 4 hours we were out there. Boat and equipment was top notch. Definitely getting ahold of him in a month or two when we need another day on the water.

Cody was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the afternoon with. Even in just a 4 hour trip we were able to target multiple species and fish a half dozen spots which I appreciated as a avid fisherman. I will be certainly fishing with Cody again.
