    Fishing with Will

    Full Day Trip – Offshore • 6 adults

    Capt Will was laid back and easygoing when I met him, but it soon became clear that he was just aching to make sure that every single person in his care would leave with memories to last a lifetime. He succeeded. My family will talk about this red letter day forever. Capt Will is an experienced seaman who grew up in the area, so he knows the local waters and all the best spots. You have found what you are looking for. Stop web surfing and book the reservation. I promise you will be glad you did.

    Response from Captain

    Robert, thank you so much for the nice words! We definitely found the fish that afternoon and I’m glad I was able to provide an experience that everyone will remember. Looking forward to getting everyone out again in the future! -Capt. Will

    The bite was on the minute we anchored. While helping land a fish the captain's fishing pole went over the boat and he dove in after it and was able to bring it back in. Without missing a beat we continued fishing and catching some of the most prettiest fish in the gulf.

    Despite the wind not cooperating, captain Will managed to find us a few spots and we were able to catch some fish. I will definitely go fishing with Captain Will again.

    We had an amazing time with Captain Will! There were 6 of us in our group and he was quick to bait us up and help as soon as we needed it. He was patient and nice. We will book him again the next time we are visiting. We highly recommend Sherwood Nautical Adventures!
