Half Day Trip (AM)
Being a career fisherman, (commercial, charter mate, and aspiring captain) I know the ins and outs of the game. Captain Billy knows the area well. He went out of his way to show us a great time. We had steady action, despite the weather and circumstances not being ideal…(august is a VERY tough time to fish the glades) Captain Billy made it happen, and was able to capture the essence of the Everglades that brought back child hood memories of trips with my father. He also knew the town well enough to make outstanding recommendations such as a great place to present my engagement proposal, as well as being able to guide me towards the only thing my trip was lacking, the best damn frog legs In the area. We made great memories, suitable for ALL ages, and will with out a doubt be back with my family on a regular basis.

3/4 Day Trip
Capt. Billy was unable to take my wife and I out on the 5th but he was able to schedule us with Capt. Travis Freeman. Boat, equipment and Captain were great. We were able to fish with different varieties of bait in various locations that Capt. Travis knows well having grown up in the area. We landed Snook, Redfin, Snapper and some catfish to use for the Goliath Groupers - landed a 20 pounder. To round out the day we were able to spend some time playing with a Dolphin pod. Great day with Captain Travis

Half Day Trip (AM)
We had a blast as Captain Billy did a great job getting us to fish. He moved around avoiding scattered thunderstorms and at one point we even saw a water spout! There was not a boring moment in the 4 hours we spent dancing around the 10,000 islands with Captain Billy. We were happy to reel in several fish that were just a bit to small to keep and several the we were able to take with and have lunch. We had several moments of excitement, my sister-in-law reeled in a goliath grouper that of course we had to release but what an exciting moment. He did a great job helping us just the right amount. He was consistently giving great encouragement, tips, and pointers. Captain Billy’s language was a bit salty but he took our lead whether it was acceptable or not and since we were two older women we were okay with it. Thanks for the great time and interesting stories, we will book again next time we are in the area!
