About Your Trip

Have you ever wanted to catch that once-in-a-lifetime fish, capture that awe-inspiring sunset, or enjoy an unforgettable day with your family on the water?
With Captain Billy B, you can. Your adventure will begin at the dock as Billy explains what you can expect on your trip. No detail will be left out or question unanswered in order to make your trip exciting, educational, and memorable.

This backcountry/flats charter is a popular choice for both longtime anglers and families because of its wide range of fishing opportunities. Islamorada's shoreline closely neighbors Florida Bay and Everglades National Park. This area, known as the backcountry, has shallow water with small islands throughout to make for some of the world’s most sought-after fishing experiences.

You can catch an array of fish species like a shark in the channel, redfish in the moats, or if you’re stealthy, a permit on the flats. On this charter, you could try your hand at fishing with rod and reel or fly fishing, all while using various baits. Backcountry and flats fishing has an assortment of fish to be caught and will make you understand why Islamorada is the Fishing Capital of the World. There is no doubt you’ll enjoy this charter and the boat ride through the glades where we may catch sight of unique birds, manatees, or dolphins.

Possible Species: Snook, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Spotted Sea Trout, Bonefish, Permit, Sharks, Ladyfish, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Redfish, Goliath Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, and others

About Your Guide

Captain Billy

Independent Guide
Captain Billy, as everyone knows him by, should have been born with gills.

Since his youth, Billy has been fishing in the bass ponds of Maryland and all along the Eastern Shore. He remembers fondly navigating out of Ocean City, Maryland as a teenager, catching Bluefish by the 55-gallon drum.

Billy attended High Point University in North Carolina on a soccer scholarship and, after earning his four-year degree, he came to Florida to begin his business career. During his years of working as a Senior Vice President with companies like Tire Kingdom, Goodyear, and Pep Boys, one thing that has never changed is Billy’s passion for fishing. Billy honed many of his fishing skills in Palm Beach County, where he fished competitively both inshore and offshore. He’s also competed in tournaments like FLW, B.A.S.S., Redman, and Redfish Tour and loves fishing locations like Lake Okeechobee, Florida Bay and Biscayne Bay. After twenty-eight years of fishing the Florida waters, Captain Billy knows the fish’s habits and routines extremely well.

Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro, Billy understands your perfect day begins at the dock. As you prepare to depart, he will describe the day based on your expectations. Being out on the Florida Keys waters is all-encompassing, an absolute paradise, and it’s your captain’s second home. Reeling in fish, like the ones you see on television or seeing the world from underwater, your trip will be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. From dock to done, fervent fishing to frolicking, for Captain Billy, it all boils down to the love of the chase.

Great day out with Captain Billy B that I strongly recommend. When I said I wanted to catch trout, I was not expecting to catch over 50 on a 6 hour trip. Not only does Captain Billy know his fishing spots in the Everglades but he will also take the time to teach you how to improve your techniques. How to catch a fish at almost every cast. am sure he is great with kids....
