    Great Fishing Trip

    Full Day Trip - Back Bay • 3 adults

    5-star experience with Captain Bill! From the moment we booked, Captain Bill provided excellent communication and preparation, making sure we were ready well before the trip. Once on the water, it became clear that he knows the waters around Fort Myers as well as anyone. In fact, it almost felt like he knew the fish individually by first name and exactly where to find them! We learned a tremendous amount throughout the day and had incredible action. Thanks to Bill's expertise, we caught every species we were targeting, including several impressive bull sharks. A fantastic trip, great teaching, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended! 🎣🦈🌊

    Reported catch:

    Great day of fishing !

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Unfortunately we started the day with a down pour. But captain Bill was patient and communicative about waiting a few mins to see if the storm would pass. Luckily it did. We where able to get out on the water. Captain had us on fish right out the gate. We caught alot of fish. My son (14). He got the grand slam. Red fish , Snook and Trout. We caught 4 snook total, a red fish , a few Jack Crevale and trout, a lot a nice snapper , 2 sting rays , a shark , and a few catfish (unfortunately). Captain Bill was a pleasure to talk to , very patient and helpful. I would highly recommend using Captain Bill if your looking to catch fish and have a relaxing day fishing.

    Caught some lunch!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    Bill is very friendly and will get you on some fish. We moved a few times to increase the bite. You can tell he knows what he’s doing. We took our catch to Snug Harbor on Fort Myers Beach and it was excellent! The kitchen fried and blackened half and half. Thanks Captain Walker for your time!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for fishing with me. Glad you enjoyed.

    Far surpassed expectations

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    My expectations were only low because of the cold conditions. Captain Bill was clearly an expert and excellent fisherman. He was very patient with a boat full of newbies to saltwater fishing. We caught a lot of fish and had an amazing time! i would highly recommend Captain Bill Walker’s guided fishing charter to others!

    to be out on the water! The low tide most likely had an affect on the fish but all 4 of us caught something. Not all keepers but still a great time. It is called “fishing” not “catching”! Thank you Captain Bill. Its been several years since my husband has been able to go fishing and he had a great day!

The Redfish spawn continues, with excellent fishing available. Temperatures gradually start to drop, remaining extremely comfortable for fish and anglers. Big Trout start to show up on the flats and the Snook are getting fat.
