Booked Captain Bill less than 24 hours before the trip and he agreed to take us out! He contacted us to see if we were flexible with times because he wanted to plan our trip around the tides. We had two 15-year-old boys fairly new to fishing who just wanted catch some fish. Capt Bill is a wealth of local knowledge and was great with teaching the boys some fishing techniques. We caught flounder, blue, red, trout, and a couple of crabs. After he cleaned them we took his advice and took the filets to Singleton’s nearby where they fried and grilled our fresh catch for around $2.50/lb! The boat was comfortable (and has a bathroom!) and we had a great day in the water! It was the perfect charter for our young fishermen!

Every trip I have done with Capt. Bill so far has been inshore, always came home with fish for dinner and my dad caught a 38” red on his last trip with us, fish of a lifetime! When my dad visits from NY we fish with Capt. Bill, not even a second thought! I trust Capt. Bill without question and when he said “Mike we should go offshore tomorrow instead of inshore” I was all in. What a day we had, the action was non-stop from the first drop to the last! I caught four new species of fish with the most thrilling one being a Cobia! Capt. Bill keeps an immaculate boat, his knowledge is extensive, he puts you on the fish and he is a heck of a nice guy! I sent pics from the trip to all my buddies and said “Now you know why you have to come fishing with me in JAX on Hooker Charters!”. I’m a customer for life and can’t wait to go again!

My friend and I booked Captain Bills offshore trip and we were not disappointed! The Captain said he would put us over some good fishing spots, and that’s exactly what he did. While the water the a little more choppy than we all intended, Captain made the best of the conditions and followed through with helping us take home a decent catch. All in all, we caught many seabass, red snapper, vermillian snapper, and a large Cobia! We had a great time and will recommend this charter to anyone looking to have a real and fruitful offshore fishing experience.

Thank you Captain Bill!

Because of sea sickness we really were hoping to fish inshore, but Captain Bill was upfront telling us that would be tough with outgoing tide and heat.
We decided to go a little farther out, and to be honest the fishing wasn’t great. However. We did lose one large redfish trying to transfer the rid to the 8 year old of our party. Even so we saw dolphin, one large sea turtle, naval and coast guard boats. Unfortunately, a few of our party became ill, but Captain Bill took us back in. He then took the 8 year old and Dad back out to make sure he caught a few fish.
  We enjoyed Captain Bills information on area, and he entertained us with his stories. We will be coming down this winter so hopefully try again when inshore fishing is better.
