If you have smaller children, he is an excellent captain to select because of his patience. Captain Will was well-versed in the region and had interesting anecdotes to tell. That same evening, my family and I had a magnificent redfish meal that we had caught. We will certainly bo...

We caught a lot of reds and hooked a lot more. Will is familiar with the region and was able to put us on fish immediately. We will most likely use him again in the future because he is a pleasant captain. Wonderful day.

Had a great time with Captain Will on an early Father’s Day trip. Will was a super cool dude and helpful in keeping the trip nice and laid back plus very exciting with the fish catching. Definitely recommend booking your trip with him.

We found a hot spot on the nearshore hitting grey trout off the bottom. We were pulling in 2-3 at a time. Hit our limit in less than 4 hours and even caught a citation awarded grey trout. Also caught Spanish mackerel, bluefish, and flounder. Captain William was a great host and k...

My family visit NC from MI for Spring Break and had a fantastic time. Captain William was super knowledgeable and patient. It was a lot of fun catching fish and learning about the area. He handles the barrage of questions from my sons like a championship boxer. It was a windy day...
