Pine Island Fishing
Bill grew up in Matlacha fishing “The World’s Most Fishingest Bridge”. Matlacha is a quaint fishing village that separates the mainland from the rich fishing waters surrounding Pine Island. As soon as Bill was old enough to operate his own boat he was nowhere to be found on dry land. Now, over forty years later and still residing in Matlacha, Bill has the knowledge and experience to ensure a safe and memorable day on the water.
