Captain Bill was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly during our trip. He placed us in a position where fishes were bitting during our trip if not adjusted us into a safer position when the waves were coming in too strong. I highly recommended using his services. I know I will be going back out there soon.

Full Day Trip - Inshore

Captain Bill put us right on the fish!

We went offshore approximately 20 miles and within minutes of arriving at our location we had a Sea Bass keeper in the box. We then had steady action throughout the day catching more Sea Bass, Snapper and Sharks. I highly recommend a trip with Captain Bill for any fishing enthusiast. Can’t wait to go out again when visiting Neptune..
