Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Billy consistently puts clients on productive fishing spots, delivering impressive catches including red snapper limits, grouper, Spanish mackerel, triggerfish, and sharks up to 26 pounds of meat. His deep knowledge of Panama City Beach waters shows through his ability to adapt quickly - moving to calmer spots when conditions get rough or switching from gulf to bay fishing when weather demands it. Multiple families report catching their limits while learning proper saltwater techniques. Billy's patience with children stands out in nearly every review, as he cheerfully answers endless questions from young anglers and even takes breaks to show kids dolphins up close. First-time saltwater anglers appreciate that he handles all the bait work and provides clear instruction throughout the trip. When fishing slows down or weather cuts trips short, customers consistently praise his tireless work ethic and positive attitude.

Trip - Half Day Morning Shark Fishing Trip On Panama City Beach on July 27, 2024

7:00 AM - 11:00 AM

We had such a great time fishing! Originally we planned for an adult trip. However, we had some changes last minute and had to bring our 4 year old and 9 year old. Billy was accommodating and had no problems with our change. The kids had a blast, and he had no problems answering all 1,000 questions they had! They felt a little sick in the choppy water, so he moved us to a calmer spot and things were great. He was so knowledgeable and we all learned a ton! We walked away with 26lbs of shark meat! 10/10 would do this again if we ever come back! Thanks Billy for the great time!

Trip - Half Day Goliath Grouper Fishing Trip On Panama City Beach on July 24, 2024

7:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Captain Billy took amazing care of us. My husband and I have never been salt water fishing before and Billy made sure we had a great time. He instructed us well, put us on some great fish and stepped in with advice and help when we needed it. And I never once had to bait a hook (ha!). Captain Billy is super knowledgeable and has years of experience and it truly shows. You could tell he wants his customers to have a good time and bring home the catch. He also gave us restaurant recommendations (you hookem, they cook em) - which was great. Overall, we had a great experience and brought home our limit of Red Snapper and also a large grouper and red snapper. We can’t wait to come back for another charter experience with Bloodline. Highly recommend.

Captain Billy was excellent! He put us on the fish right from the start. We caught a few different species and got to keep several and have them cleaned when the trip was through. Overall one of the best experiences my wife and I have had. We are already making plans to come back later this year. Thanks captain Billy!

My father and I went on the 5-hour trip, and Billy did an excellent job of keeping us on fish the entire time. He never stopped working to get us the best fishing opportunities. I would recommend him to anyone again.

Billy was awesome!! We went out for a 3-hour kids trip with my 7 and 10-year-old. We caught lots of fish. My daughter was “done fishing” and we still had time left. Billy took us back and found some dolphins for the kids to see up close. It was a blast—-highly recommend it!!

No sharks, but we did catch some Lady Fish and Spanish Mackerel. This was not due to a lack of effort on the part of the captain, who worked his tail off to locate sharks.

We had so much fun fishing! We had intended to take an adult trip. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, we brought our 4-year-old and 9-year-old children. Billy was extremely accommodating and had no issues with our change. The kids had a great time, and he had no trouble answering all of their 1,000 questions! They were feeling a little sick in the choppy water, so he moved us to a calmer spot, and everything was fine. He was extremely knowledgeable, and we all learned a lot from him! We left with 26 pounds of shark meat! We would do it again in a heartbeat if we returned! Thank you for a great time, Billy!

It was my grandson's first fishing trip, and he can't stop talking about it and all the fish they caught. He was so excited that he wanted to go fishing with Captain Billie the next day. Thank you for a great time and memories. The trip will not let you down.

Captain Billy looked after us admirably. My husband and I had never gone salt water fishing before, and Billy made certain that we had a great time. He gave us excellent instruction, put us on some great fish, and stepped in with advice and assistance when we needed it. And I never had to bait a hook once (ha!). Captain Billy is extremely knowledgeable and has years of experience, which shows. He clearly wants his customers to enjoy themselves and bring home the catch. He also recommended restaurants (you hookem, they cook em), which was fantastic. Overall, we had a great time and caught our limit of Red Snapper, as well as a large grouper and red snapper.
