We had 4h perfect hours of a family friendly fishing trip. Though our fishing skills were quite widely spread (absolut beginner to 35years of fishing-addiction) everyone had fun and more then one (small) catch. After 3 hours at a beautyfull spot in the Marshs we still had time to move on.
As Billy is Chincoteague born and bred he could he easily fullfilled our daughters wish and brought us close to some Ponys (Phoenix Wildfire was one of them), Dolphins and a bald Eagle sat close by to watch us pass.
Wildlife never gives a guarantee to show up but with a little patience and a great guide like Billy there is a very good chance to see plenty.
We are gratefull for this experience, thank you!

Capt Billy is a proud young man, having grown up in this area. He knows the water, the history and the ponies!  He was such a joy-he provided everything we needed and made sure we were all set for our wonderful 4 hour adventure. He had plenty of different kinds of poles so when we changed areas to fish we were using the right one. He provided us great narrative and history of this area (we have just moved to DE) and he took us to many different sites on the water. He also is personally involved with maintaining the ponies, a huge part of the culture and attraction to this area (his family has a long history and involvement in generations of the Chincoteague horses and fishing community). While we didn’t catch the fish we wanted, it was not for a lack of trying.  We went ALL over the bay and then some trying different spots. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously on a sun soaked evening!  We’d highly recommend Capt Billy and Reed and Reel for your fishing and history and knowledge of this lovely area.

My family and I have done multiple charters in Chincoteague now, we’ve always caught fish and I considered that a win - but after going out with Billy I can say he is the best. His knowledge of the island is unmatched- many locals were yelling hello to him and asking where to fish that day. He is ambitious, personable, and fun to fish with. Plus he gave us so many island recommendations that were all great. 10/10

We loved our time out on the boat with Capt Reed! He was so kind to our kids yet so helpful with new skills for the adults. We even got to see some ponies up close while out with him- he knew so much about the ponies and island! We will definitely be going out with him again in our future summers on Chincoteague. Highly recommend for families and avid fisherman alike!
