I’ve been fishing the waters of the Florida Keys since I was 5 years old. For over two decades have been fishing professionally as an owner operator. I enjoy meeting new anglers of all skill levels and creating lifelong memories targeting fish in the offshore and inshore waters of the Florida keys.

4-Hour Half-Day Trip: Quick and Action-Packed
Short on time but still
want to experience the thrill of Key Largo fishing? This 4-hour offshore trip is perfect for anglers who want a fast-paced adventure without committing to a full day on the water. You’ll head out into the vibrant Atlantic, known for its incredible variety of fish species. Captain Bill will help you target favorites like Mahi Mahi, Kingfish, and Snapper using live bait and trolling techniques.

This trip is ideal for families with kids, groups of friends, or solo anglers looking for non-stop action. You’ll fish aboard Captain Bill’s 22’ Penn Craft bay boat, powered by a reliable 200 HP Suzuki engine and fully outfitted with all the gear you need. Just bring your food, drinks (yes, beer is welcome!), and sunblock. And the best part? Captain Bill will clean and fillet your catch, so you’ll head home with fresh fish ready to cook.

6-Hour Trip: The Perfect Balance
For those who want a little more time on the water but don’t feel quite ready for a full-day excursion, this 6-hour trip is just right. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the offshore and nearshore waters of the Florida Keys, giving you access to a variety of fishing opportunities. Depending on the time of year and weather conditions, Captain Bill will guide you to target species like Snapper, Grouper, Mahi Mahi, and more.

This trip strikes the perfect balance, giving you more time to chase the big ones while still leaving you with part of your day to relax or explore the area. Whether you’re looking to improve your skills or land a personal best, Captain Bill’s local expertise and friendly guidance will make for an unforgettable adventure.

8-Hour Full-Day Trip: The Ultimate Adventure
For the die-hard anglers or anyone ready for a true fishing adventure, this 8-hour full-day trip is the way to go.
