Bill was born right here in SW Florida. If he was born anywhere else he
would have eventually made it here. He is married to Angela, a fourth
generation Lee County native who coordinates all the charters for
Endless Summer Charters. Bill's father is the Lee Co. Deputy County
Administrator and the namesake for Hammond Stadium, the spring
training baseball stadium for the Minnesota Twins.
Bill took to the waterways here as a child spending hours
fishing the saltwater creeks, rivers and mangrove islands of all
of South West Florida. As a result he became a proficient
angler and outdoorsman. The area became as familiar as
the back of his hand.
After studying hospitality management at UCF and
Valencia College he came back to Fort Myers in 1989 and
started working for Adventures in Paradise at what is now know
as the Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort as Dock Master and Fishing
guide. Already having had a lifetime of experience he took to it easily and
the customers loved his style of service.
His love for SW Florida never stopped growing. Since then Capt. Bill has
scouted just about every waterway and mangrove island in the area.
Capt. Bill delights in sharing what this area has offer and
loves telling a tale or two that have been passed down
through family members going back to the 1800's. Bill
loves giving the experience of S.W. Florida to those
that have never been here and a new perspective to
those who have.
Being a full time career fishing guide who is on the
water 300+ days a year you are guaranteed the best
fishing experience available. He continually furthers
his education as a Captain and has now gained his
USCG 100 ton Master's license and holds fishing
seminars at West Marine on Fort Myers Beach.
