Full, 3/4, or Half Day Offshore - Linda D IV

The Linda D IV is a 40' Twin Diesel Engine sport fishing machine! After you get settled in, and Captain Bill cranks up the engines, you will motor out a couple of miles offshore to do some trolling, deep-sea dropping, and fish catching! For single-day trips you can expect to hook into the likes of Wahoo, King Mackerel, Snapper, Sharks, Jack Crevalle, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna, and Tarpon when they are migrating through. You are welcome to get as involved as you would like with your adventure as well, whether you'd rather lounge until the reel starts screaming or if you want your hand on the rod the whole time, Captain Bill can make it happen!

Beyond superior service and luxurious amenities, Captain Bill and his crew also provide the best rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fishing licenses you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water. Thus, all you need to bring are your favorite lunch, snack, and drink, your sun protection, maybe a towel, and your camera! Otherwise, Captain Bill will take care of the rest to make the most of your Key West saltwater adventure!

If you catch a fish which you would like to have mounted, the captain can give you all the necessary information and will make arrangements with the taxidermist. You may release your fish and still have it mounted. Catch and release mounts are common today and are recommended by the crew.

The name Wickers has been well-known for making waves in the Gulf stream waters, quite literally, since 1938, and from that time onwards, the Gulf stream has never seen a day without a Wickers on board.

Following the family tradition of the best fishing in Key West, Captain Bill Wickers Jr. established the LINDA D, and never stopped doing what he loved and loving what he does. His face was as familiar for the Straits of Florida, as the horizon was for him.

The family business then continued to grow and was later adopted by his son, Billy, the fourth generation youngest licensed Captain in the Key West. Captain Billy practically grew up doing what he does best, i.e., fishing. To him it comes naturally, his skills speak volumes when he frequently catches what others have to wait quite a lot for.

The Linda D that still stands proud, has entertained Florida State Governor, Jeb Bush and has a glamorous history of being featured in numerous films and documentaries, including Curt Gowdy of American Sportsman fame, PM Magazine and most recently the Nashville Network’s Celebrity Outdoors, starring Roger Miller and Lee Greenwood.
