About Your Trip

Have a great experience trolling for Wahoo, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel and more with Captain Will. After trolling to the fishing spot, you will bottom fish for snapper, triggerfish, etc. This trip is great for the whole family, especially the kids.

Captain Will specializes in all sorts of different styles and techniques! He's not a 1 hook fits all kind of fisherman! Whether it be running different trolling gear to land monster Wahoo or King Mackerel or using lite action spinning reels while catching a cooler full of mahi-mahi we’ve figured out what works best! As for bottom fishing sometimes we go from chicken rigs to sow rigs to free lining live bait! Whatever it takes to put you on the backside of a bent rod and a tight line!

His boat comes loaded with all the gear you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water including all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning at the end of the day. So all you have to do is bring your favorite snack and drinks, your sun protection, and your camera, Captain Will will take care of the rest!
