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.

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

3/4 Day Trip

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

I’m glad you enjoyed all the pictures and videos of your trip. I like when my clients get to take some memories home with them. Looking forward to hopefully fishing with both of you again.

It was a pleasure to fish with you Thriston. Those BIG ONES can be a challenge to catch at times. Good luck on your golf tournament coming up and hope to fish with you again!!

Had an awesome afternoon fishing with Captain William Wood. He has excellent experience and put me on some really nice Okeechobee Bass. He is amazing with video and iPhone photos which makes the trip special and memorable. The wildlife and scenery was an additional bonus to a bucket list fishing day… highly recommend!

We were a mother and her son out for the morning 1/2 day trip. My son is already a good fisherman and Captain Wood was wonderful with him. He respected what he was already able to do and taught him more. Captain Wood made sure to help me do the best I could to catch a fish and I did. The only negative was that we went in the summertime so he definitely recommends going at a different time of the year, not in July next time. He was very kind and patient and very informative.
