And that applies to everything, from having fun with his family and friends to guiding and fishing in tournaments.

Techniques: Artificial baits of all kinds as well as Wild Shiners.

Great day with Captain William. Conditions were not optimal with a constant SE blow but Captain William delivered. I came down with my 13 year old stepson whose dream it was to fish Lake Okeechobee. He caught his personal best 6.29lb fatty. It was the catch of his lifetime. Captain William was a patient, thorough and knowledgeable teacher. I highly recommend his guide service.

My Dad and I had a great time with Captain Bill. The wind kicked up making the fishing a little tough but Captain Bill never gave up. He went above and beyond to get us on the fish. He’s fun, incredibly knowledgeable and is super patient. The pictures and videos he took of and for us were amazing. We will definitely be fishing with Captain Bill again. Rob and Don

What more can anyone say about Cpt Wood that hasn’t been said by thousands of anglers who’ve been lucky enough to fish with him? If you’re looking for a trip on the lake that has 1) Incredible Fishing Knowledge, 2) Amazing Camera and Videography, and 3) the nicest man East of the Appalachians…the this is the trip for you! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we caught tons of big fish!!! Cpt Wood…thank you for making my dad’s 70th birthday a memorable one!

Captain William gave us a fishing trip to remember and took plenty of photos and videos to make sure we’ll always have those memories. Captain William was very courteous, professional, got us on some great fish, and gave me some tips and tricks to help me catch more bass when I fish in the future. Overall, I would highly recommend going out with Captain William on this trip or one of his Okachobee trips, you will be glad you did!

We were really lucky to choose Captain William Wood !!! The man really knows how to take you out to the right place to catch a whole lot of bass. The trip was amazing and my wife and I had a great time I don’t know why you would go with anyone else Fishing booker.com made it so easy to book this trip of a lifetime and to have an experienced angler who knows lake ochechobee like the back of his hand was awesome!!!! So thank you
