Capt. Will is first class, had a great time out on the water and got on the fish! Going to book again with him next year. Highly recommend.
thanks Ben fpr the review!
Captain Will took us on a combination trip today after Blackfin Tuna and Yellowtail Snapper. We got a boat limit of both. He is excellent at rigging, has premium fishing equipment (top of the line Shimano trolling and spinning gear, clean and well appointed SeaVee) and all gear worked exactly as it should. I took my girlfriend who has less experience, and she had a great time - this is the best charter she has ever been on. I have fished all over the world, and Will is one of the best. We will be back on Captain Will’s boat, regardless of the target species next time we are in town.
thanks David for the review glad you guys enjoyed your trip!
I don't do reviews but had to review Captain Will. He tailored the trip to what we wanted to target, then worked hard to get us on fish, and keep us on fish, in incredibly rough seas and high winds when no one else was putting groceries in the boat. He not only knows the near and offshore waters but is a really good guy you will enjoy spending a few hours with. If you want to catch a lot of fish and have a fantastic overall experience, Will is the guy. Have had multiple guides over the years in Islamorada, all of whom were better than average, but Will is by far the best and is the only one I recommend.
thanks James i really appreciate it!
We had a very tough day on the water that ended in success. Captain will started out with a great spot to grab our bait that my boys, 9 and 11, enjoyed watching the process of. We traveled to at least 6 different locations trying to catch fish that were just stubborn all day long. We had signs both on the radar and natural showing fish in our locations but they just wouldn't take the bait. Fortunately we signed up for the 6 hour trip because in our last hour we landed 3 kingfish and 3 yellow jacks. We were very pleased with Captain Wills determination and efforts to land fish! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great day on the water!
thanks Corey for sticking with it patience pays! hope you huys enjoyed the fish and had a great rest of your vacation.
Capt Will was at the dock ready to rip when we arrived. His 29’ Seevee was the perfect platform for our trip. We quickly secured bait then headed offshore. We wanted quality not quantity and he knew where to find it. We got all the gear out and doubled up after a bit. The fish did not cooperate and crossed up lines. We were bummed but capt was determined to get us on more. We shortly had another hot amd mamaged to grt him to the boat. Sailfish. such a cool fish. As we were releasing we had another rod go off. Hooked,fought and landed our second solid sized sailfish. On the way in we got a monster Mutton snapper bottom fishing. We kept him and provided us an amazing dinner. Capt Will is a pro. We will absolutely head out with him again!
thanks Russell glad we got a second crack at em! look forward to our next fishing adventure!
This was a great trip. Captain Will was very friendly and knowledgeable. He spent time chatting with us and worked diligently to find us spots to catch our targeted species. He took us out to catch bait first thing in the morning and then took us to several spots. We caught three King Mackerel and many Bonita. A lot of vessels were struggling to catch much that day and he was able to put us on some great spots to catch some great fish. He was a pleasure to be around and we enjoyed our trip. I did have some issues with our overall experience. captain Will does not have a first mate, so it was difficult for him to do everything wich is completely understandable. However, there were only two out of four who were able to fish at a time. I feel as though he could have rigged all four of us up so we could all be fishing. As it stood, two of us were always sitting there just awaiting our turn. He took our time to clean his boat. I understand that fish blood is difficult to remove when dried and can be a pain to remove. However, cleaning the boat should be done at the end of the trip and not on our time we have reserved to fish. After we caught two mackerel, he left them on the boat instead of getting them on ice. I had to ask him if he had an ice box we could put them in, when he told me where it was, I placed them in the ice box. Please know, my high rating still stands, but I want to be honest and provide constructive criticism. Again, he was excellent, just a few things I wanted to bring up.
thanks for the review Sebastian. I always try to keep all eating fish in good condition just at that point in time i was trying to get rods back out to get more bites. hope you guys enjoyed the fish! happy holidays to the family!
