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.

3/4 Day Trip

My Wife and I recently went out with Captain William Wood on a 2 day trip. He knew exactly where the fish was and put us rite on them. Coolest part of the trip was the whole time we ripped fish was the techniques and tips he showed us them 2 days I will now have in our arsenal for the rest of our lives. It’s definitely what it says “Fishing With A Pro” Highly Recommend!!

Capitan William put us on some good sized largemouths and a couple surprise catfish. We used a mixture of live shiners and artificial lures. I would definitely recommend a trip with Captain William!

Very knowledgeable guide - William was great with my 14 year old son. We had a good day but the fishing were not biting a ton. That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching. Enjoyed the time on the lake and we caught a couple of bass 2-3lbs. Overall a good time!

The bite slowed down after being on fire the past 2 weeks. A Mother Nature Thing. It was an enjoyable day on the lake. You both impressed me with your fishing skills. Hope to fish with you again someday.
