Captain Wood is easily the best captain I’ve ever met. He’s not only knowledgeable about the area, but also extremely nice and runs a charter where he doesn’t fish for you, but instead teaches you how to fish. Myself and my friends are all very experienced fishermen, but Capt Wood showed and taught us new ways to catch fish in an environment that we thought we were familiar with. Furthermore, Capt Wood didn’t show an ounce of typical charter captain attitude or annoyance... More

Yes, Sarah won the Big Fish contest (a fish called Bill). You have given me a new meaning to phrases such as “she has her hooks in you :-)” and “I’m hooked on fishing”....Stop me, I can go on and on:-). It was a GREAT day with some GREAT fishing and GREAT company. You were all awesome to fish with!! Life should be FUN and fishing is the FUN I get to share with so many people. Can’t wait to fish with all of you again!! Captain William... More

This is an experience I will never forget! I surprised my dad with a bass fishing trip on Lake Okeechobee while I was in town for a visit. We have chartered a lot of fishing trips and this was by far the most AMAZING trip we have ever had! Captain Wood was such an amazing host. He was so knowledgeable with every aspect of bass fishing. I learned so much about all the different casting techniques and different baits. One of my favorite things about the trip is all the pictures... More

From the minute my son and I arrived to meet captain William Wood, I knew we were in a true professionals hands. Bill had everything ready and set and I could tell his demeanor was going to be the kind of guide who is truly about making the trip special for us. My son and I fished for over 4 hours and were wildly successful catching tons of fish because of Bill’s experience of which spots to fish and which baits to use. He truly is a professional and great overall guide and... More

I booked this trip hoping for a great day of of fishing for my girlfriends birthday. William goes above and beyond. We caught a lot of fish which kept us busy all day. Captain William much more than just a great fisherman, he is a really nice person and was easy to get along with. My girlfriend and I really liked his personality and that is important on a 4 hour trip out on the water. William really exceeded our expectations because he took photos and videos of the entire day and then made a video... More

What an amazing day on the Big O, Captain William responded promptly to confirm reservation, and listened to our requests and tailored the trip to match our experience. First time out on Lake Okeechobee catching bass and could not have asked for a better day. He knows the lake and will get you on fish. We look forward to another visit to Florida so we can go out again with Captain William. Follow up after our trip was unbelievable with a short video and pictures, a VERY memorable day for my son...

I am glad you enjoyed the video collage and pictures of your trip Jeff. Yes, it was a beautful day on the BIG O. I had a blast fishing with both of you. You both did GREAT!! Cole catching that rod and reel combo was pretty cool. That was a first on my boat and a nice parting gift. Looking forward to fishing with both of you again. Captain William Wood
