Fabulous experience, been many times and always had a great time! Fish are just a bonus when you go with Billy! My three year old was even able to catch a puppy drum, an experience I’ll never forget!

June 24, 2025

Took me and my wife out fishing. Put us right on the fish and we burned them up!

June 24, 2025

Billy absolutely knows these waters inside and out! We kicked off the morning landing black drum in a nearby inlet—strong fighters and delicious on the table. Later, we shifted closer to shore to target puppy drum. One of the most memorable parts? Billy helped my three-year-old learn to cast and reel, and within minutes, he had his very own puppy drum on the line. It was a moment I’ll always remember. Toward the evening, we traveled to a new spot and started working for speckled trout. We hooked a few just as the sun began to set—an incredible scene to end the day. No frills, no fuss—just honest, hands-on fishing from start to finish.
