3/4 Day Trip

The captain was very good and knowledgeable about the area we fished. Was able to tell us the types of bottom at each area. We went the end of July so my expectations weren’t very high due to the time of year. I ended up catching around 10 fish so that was good. My only disappointment was we fished in the canals around the launch area and never actually got out to the main lake. Although the area we fished was beautiful and full of birds, alligators, and manatees and some fish, I still wish... More

It was a pleasure taking you and your dad out fishing. Unfortunately, this time of year and being a shallow lake the water heats up and the bite gets SUPER SLOW out on the main lake. The fish drop back to the deeper water. So to catch fish that’s where we needed to be. December is a GREAT time to fish out in the main lake. Who ever you choose then you will have an AWESOME time. Hope you enjoyed all the pictures and videos of your trip.

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!

Blake, I had an AWESOME time fishing with you and Taylor! You both did GREAT out there. Taylor catching that 8 foot Alligator on her first cast of the day was pretty memorable!! Looking forward to doing it all again someday.
