Member since August 2017 Lake Worth, United States

Background: Captain William A. Wood is a tournament angler with a wealth of knowledge. He began fishing professional tournaments over two decades ago with B.A.S.S. and FLW.

And that applies to everything, from having fun with his family and friends to guiding and fishing in tournaments. Some of his accomplishments include 2-time Walmart BFL champion, 3 time Florida B.A.S.S. Nation angler of the year, Southern Division, and many more.
Techniques: Artificial baits of all kinds as well as Wild Shiners.

Captain Wood had every thing set for us to make some great family memories. Our 10 year old son had so much fun! All he wants to do now is fish. Captain Bill took us right to a spot where the bass were hitting and kept the action going for our four hours with him. We will definitely boo again with him the next time we are down in South Florida.

Fishing in Tough Weather

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

As an avid angler and captain myself, you can tell when someone is not on their business. That was not the case here. Captain Bill was a great choice for me and my two grandkids, 7 & 10 yrs old. Knowledgable and straight forward on the game plan. Could not be happier and will return to fish again with him.

Todd, it was a pleasure taking you, Riley and Maverick out on Beautiful Lake Okeechobee. I always have a GREAT time fishing with kids. It’s so Cool to see their reactions when catching fish. Brings me back to those days when my dad took me and my brothers fishing. These memories will last FOREVER.

Captain William took us fishing as a 14th birthday gift to my little brother. We had such a great time and caught some good fish. We had never been fishing in South Bay, but we will definitely be back. If you’re looking for some fun in the sun and want to catch fish, William will take good care of you!!
