Went fishing with a friend on Sonrise Charter. Captain Bill was accommodating and very detailed in explaining fishing areas and targeting fish type. Reds were off the bite, but he was able to locate for us. Catch and release is best for Reds at this time of year due to declining numbers. Later in the trip Bill got us into sheephead which was fun to target. Overall good experience, with lots of local information which the captain provided. Great communication skill set.

Captain Bill is a man of passion.  Passion for fishing and for the Lord and savior.  If im half as humorous, joyous and energetic at 69 like the Captain i will consider myself blessed.  I took my 14 year son and 21 year old daughter (skeptical vegetarian).  My son loved it and my daughter is talking about our next fishing trip.  We went looking for Jack, tarpon and Red, we found Blacktip and Bonnethead shark.  Weather and water was great,  the service and knowledge of the sea was better.  The bonus of the trip was the Captains restaurant recommendation for lunch. It was a local, out of the way seafood oasis. Very good. I wont name names, i will let him hand out the secrets.

Captain Bill was great. He is a genuinely nice guy.  Very easy to talk to and knows his stuff about the local fishing spots.  He was very accommodating. His boat was very well maintained and you could tell he took pride in it.  We didn’t have a great deal of luck with the fishing.  Caught a few small sharks but that did not damper our trip.  We had a wonderful time with Captain Bill and would recommend a four hour trip with him.  Thanks Captain Bill!

This is our 2nd trip out with Sonrise.  Like the 1st trip, both my 9-year-old son and myself enjoyed the outing.  We did catch a fish, stingray, but could not get a picture holding the catch due danger from the barb.  Would like to have caught more but the weather and season were against us.  Did enjoy the new boat.
Hopefully, next year will be better.

This trip was all about my son Eli having a fantastic experience that he will never forget. Captain Bill is a great guide and an even better man. We will be back in late September. Best trip ever!  All about my son’s first trip to fish salt water. He will never forget it and neither will I. Thank you Captain for your friendship. Cause that’s exactly how we feel about this man. See u in late September!!!!
