Half Day Trip - Inshore (AM)

The trip was scheduled for Friday 10/8/2021 but mother nature had different plans for us. Capt. Bill did take us out and had a solid plan to protect us from the initial downpour, but once we all realized it wasn’t going to let up we re-scheduled for Saturday morning. Fortunate for us Capt. Bill had that opening available as I know he is very popular! Saturday morning we headed out with perfect weather. First cast at the first spot brought a fish into the boat and the action continued... More

Amazing experience with Captain Bill! Went out his way and let me experience the Florida waters. Knew what he was talking about and where to go. Even gave me an extra hour to fish which was nice. Great company! Will definitely be booking again once I’m back here.

By far the best charter to take in Jacksonville! Captain Bill picked the perfect location for us to catch fish upwards of 15 pounds and was there to help and assist along the way! My cousin even managed to land a 25 pound Amberjack! The bathroom onboard and the shaded top were perfect additions to make this the best charter! Bill was amazing as well and kept us entertained and informed the entire trip. We will definitely be back!

My son and I had an amazing day with Captain Bill. He put us on a ton of redfish and we kept our limit of two a piece and had them cooked down the road. We also caught some croaker and some trout. He is very knowledgeable, very fun to be around and is fantastic helping children learn to fish. This was my son‘s fifth charter and Captain Bill is his favorite. There is no doubt we will charter with him again in the near future
