Captain
Billy Briggs

Member since March 2018 Fort Pierce, United States

Background: I come from a family of fishermen. I knew from an early age I wanted to be a fishing guide. I love everything about the water. I have spent many seasons in Everglades City, working with my father-in-law and stone crabbing. The open water of the Gulf of Mexico has the best sunrise I've ever seen. I also have experience as an airboat captain – anything to get out on the water! But nothing compares to being a fishing guide. I enjoy everything about fishing. There is nothing better than to put my clients on some nice sport fish. To see their faces when they pull a keeper Snook into the boat, that is priceless.
Techniques: I fish mainly in shore with light tackle or fly. I fish the mangroves and flats of Treasure Coast or the Ten Thousand Island. Targeting Snook, Redfish and Spotted Seatrout. I always look forward to going out in the Gulf to target Grouper, King fish and Coba. I also enjoy wading with light tackle or fly, stocking monster Tarpon and Snook.

Liked fishing and a great experience for my 9 yr. old grandson, except language was not what a 9 yr old should hear from adult. For that reason I would never book him again.

Rick, I had a great time fishing with you guys. I apologize for my language. I get a little exited and absent minded when the fish turn on. It is something that I try to be aware especially when kids are on the boat. I appreciate you bringing it to my attention. I will be more mindful in the future. Again I am truly sorry.

GECONTROLEERD

Nice guy and it’s obvious he knows how to fish in general but as far as knowing the area and being in tune with the fish and what’s going on specific to the Everglades and 10,000 islands? Na- not even close. Guys got no buiseness taking buiseness from real local and knowledgeable fishing guides. He lives 3hrs away. He should stay there. He also mentioned how “it not illegal to keep undersized fish, just illegal to get caught as he chuckled and laughed” I think that’s kind of a poor mindset... Meer

I was completely shocked by this review. Not that I cannot handle a bad review, but the statements you wrote were completely off base and fabricated. It was extremely unfortunate that we were not able to land the keeper redfish like you wanted. There were DOZENS of reds caught that were not legal. We also caught grouper, jacks, snook, and snapper. Not to mention the multiple fish that were not landed. I gave extra time to your group in hopes that we could land that keeper red for you. ... Meer

It was extremely unfortunate that we were not able to land the keeper redfish like you wanted. There were DOZENS of reds caught that were not legal. We also caught grouper, jacks, snook, and snapper. Not to mention the multiple fish that were not landed. I gave extra time to your group in hopes that we could land that keeper red for you.

Just to clarify, I started my charter business in Everglades City. Before my charter business I worked on my father in laws stone crab boat. I also ran airboats for the tourist. Due to unforeseen family obligations, I temporary have to commute back and forth. We still own property and pay taxes in Collier County. I spend a lot of time there and no matter were I am my heart will alway be there.

I wish I was able to grantee specific species of fish and/or size but unfortunately that is not the way it works. Any fisherman knows why its called “fishing”. Sometimes lady luck is not on our side. I have come to realize and made peace with the fact that I am unable to please everyone. I really hope that one day you land that keeper redfish you wanted.

P.S. I would never Jeopardize my business, licenses or the fishery that I depend on by keeping anything that was not of legal size or in season.
