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. For William, there is nothing better than being on the water and anticipating the strike. 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.

Capt Bill took care of everything to ensure we caught fish and we did! Extremely knowledgable and went “overboard” taking care of everything so my wife and I could focus on reeling them in! Thank you, Capt Bill!

Thanks so much for those kind words. I love filming all my trips. It is something I have done for many years. My love for Lake Okeechobee is a BIG reason that I do this. I also want my clients to take home the memories of this incredible Lake. Thanks again Casey for those kind words. I hope to fish with you again someday.
