We booked an afternoon half-day trip with Capt. Will and it was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve ever had on the water. From the moment we stepped aboard, he was the perfect combination of professional and personable. He is the kind of guide who makes you feel like you’re fishing with a lifelong friend, not someone you just met.

Capt. Will went above and beyond to make sure my wife and I were comfortable and having a great time from start to finish. And the fishing? It was incredible. We started getting bites almost immediately and the action never let up. We couldn’t have scripted a better ending either. On our very last cast, my wife and I doubled up!

If you’re looking for a guide who truly cares about your experience and not just putting fish in the boat, look no further than Smiley’s Guide Service. We’ll absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

Smiley was super!  We went out for an afternoon trip when the wind was blowing 20-30.  He planned a route that didn’t beat us up and then found fishing where the wind was hardly a factor.  We limited on Speckled trout and he couldn’t have been nicer.  When the bite slowed, we moved to another area.  Afterwards, he cleaned the fish and bagged them for us!!!

We limited out on trout we caught black drum. Had a great time.

Captain Smiley definitely knows how to put you on the fish. We hit our limit with time to spare. He was very helpful helping my wife cast and baiting. Super nice guy. Will absolutely book another trip.
