Will Pauling, Captain at Withlacoochee Charters

Withlacoochee Charters is based in Yankeetown, Florida, and offers laid-back fishing trips along one of the most natural stretches of the Nature Coast. This area is known for quiet backwaters, healthy grass flats, and a wide mix of inshore and nearshore species. If you’re looking to fish waters that still feel like old Florida, this is the place to do it.


Captain Will has been fishing since he was young and made the move to Florida to focus on saltwater angling. After years of learning the tides, seasons, and local patterns, he became a licensed captain and has been guiding for the past four years. He takes pride in being hands-on and making sure every guest feels comfortable, whether it’s your first time fishing or you’ve been doing it for years.


Most trips are six hours long and focus on seasonal fishing for Redfish, Snook, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Cobia, and Grouper, depending on conditions. Techniques may include light and heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning. Captain Will adjusts the game plan to match the day and the group, keeping trips flexible and enjoyable.


You’ll fish aboard a 23-foot Sea Pro that safely accommodates up to four anglers. The boat is equipped with a wireless trolling motor and ice box, giving you a clean and organized fishing platform. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are provided, along with fishing licenses for everyone onboard. At the end of the trip, your catch can be cleaned and filleted for you to take home. Drinks are included, and you’re welcome to bring your own.


Spring and fall are prime seasons, while winter offers quieter conditions and solid fishing for those looking to beat the crowds. In addition to fishing trips, Captain Will also offers nature and sunset tours in Yankeetown, perfect for families and guests who want to enjoy the scenery and wildlife.

With a positive attitude and a relaxed approach, Captain Will works hard to make every trip a good one, even when conditions change. Book your day with Withlacoochee Charters and enjoy a true Nature Coast fishing experience.
