About Captain Billy

Captain Billy Stafford has been fishing for 40 years and has been an official charter captain for close to five years now. He chose this career because "it was the only logical thing." He became an outdoor water enthusiast in his younger years. Being with family and relatives who also love fishing, he would regularly go out on fishing trips and learn discoveries that triggered his interest in the sport. This indeed has greatly influenced him and was the biggest factor in why he has become the top fishing guide that he is today.
