3/4 Day Trip

If you are taking kids fishing or have a competitive group you have to go fishing with William. His trip tournament adds a little friendly competition to the trip and keeps the boat engaged until the end. My son landed his personal biggest bass. William was great with our 2 13yr old boys and dad. He was super patient with the boys assisting them with tangles and providing guidance in an instructive and patient manner. He also quickly switched spots or lures or techniques when things... More

My husband has always wanted to fish the lake so I booked a 6 hour trip while visiting Florida. Captain William Wood is very knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable. He did his best to put us on fish. The morning was cool with temperatures in the 50’s-60’s and the wind was not our friend. We caught one fish on artificial and had to switch to live bait. We caught 2 more to end the day. Not the catch we were hoping for but understandable under the conditions. The time that Captain... More

Captain William was great! He was very knowledgeable both with history of the lake/area and ESPECIALLY the fishing. He had us on fish immediately in our first spot and whenever the fishing slowed in a spot, he would move to another spot with fish. He was excellent helping both of us, but especially my elderly dad who needed a little more help than average! Overall, Cpt. William gave my dad and I a memory for a lifetime! Not to mention all of the awesome pictures and videos he took along the way!... More

Thanks for those compliments Mike, that means a lot to me. I’m so glad you and your dad enjoyed yourselves. It was such a pleasure fishing with both of you. The pictures and videos are something I’ve always enjoyed doing for my clients. It’s my way of sharing this AWESOME lake with my clients and their family and friends.. Hope to fish with both of you again someday.

We started our day on a cloudy lake and some nice fish, then the weather rolled into the lake. We had wind and rain. Captain William kept me on the fish showing me techniques to match the weather. They worked! We finished with a great bag for the day. Captain William was patient with me while showing me the different techniques. Between the fish and the stories I had a great time. Thanks Captain I will definitely see you next year when I come back to Florida. Tight lines

Capt. Wood is a top notch captain and bass fisherman. He was more than willing to teach and I was very willing to learn. A most comfortable time on the boat- conversation was easy and the fishing ridiculous! I highly recommend Capt. Bill Wood- a great day on the water! JS
