Captain Bill Wickers, Jr., a fourth generation conch fishermen is considered one of the absolute best light tackle and offshore fishing guides in Key West, Period! Capt. Billy and his father have kept a four generation tradition of quality fishing in the waters off of Key West for more than 60 years. Capt. Billy's dad remembers back when his son Billy scrambled on the deck below to ready lines and hooks. Reaching into a bait bucket, he withdrew a silver ballyhoo, threaded a hook through its belly and wrapped a line around its nose. It's a procedure he'll repeat dozens of times over the day as he jumps across the deck, replacing bait and handing hooked lines to charter guests. It's also one he learned from his grandfather. "It's all I ever wanted to do," he said. "Never thought about anything else and I probably never will. "Since graduating from high school, 18 year old Billy has become the youngest licensed captain in Key West. As the boat eased over the two foot seas on the Gulf Stream, Billy rolled with the familiar rhythms. Since he was a child, he's been running these waters searching for fish.

Capt. Billy runs both the beautiful "Linda D V", a 40' Offshore, Twin Engine Diesel, Air Conditioned Sport fisher and the versatile 28ft "Total Package" light tackle center console.
