3/4 Day Trip Nearshore/Offshore

6 Hour Offshore with Capt. Bill

Every trip I have done with Capt. Bill so far has been inshore, always came home with fish for dinner and my dad caught a 38” red on his last trip with us, fish of a lifetime! When my dad visits from NY we fish with Capt. Bill, not even a second thought! I trust Capt. Bill without question and when he said “Mike we should go offshore tomorrow instead of inshore” I was all in. What a day we had, the action was non-stop from the first drop to the last! I caught four new species of fish with... More

My friend and I booked Captain Bills offshore trip and we were not disappointed! The Captain said he would put us over some good fishing spots, and that’s exactly what he did. While the water the a little more choppy than we all intended, Captain made the best of the conditions and followed through with helping us take home a decent catch. All in all, we caught many seabass, red snapper, vermillian snapper, and a large Cobia! We had a great time and will recommend this charter to anyone looking... More

Great trip…. Perfect weather and lots of “action”. Captain Bill is a terrific captain with lots of knowledge about fishing in the JAX waters! He combines his knowledge with his passion for fishing to try to give the customer a great experience! In our case it was a winning combination. Grandson’s first off-shore fishing trip and it was a winner! Thanks Captain Bill! Highly recommended!

We took a 4 hour Am inland trip on St John’s River. It was low tide, and Captain Bill got us on the fish. He took the time to give us fishing tips and tricks and soon we were landing them in the boat. Thank you Captain Bill for a fun day with great conversations. We will be having some delicious fish dinners this week. I will be calling you again!
