I can't say enough about my times on the water with Captain Baldus. I have fished with many guides, both locally and around the country, both fresh and saltwater, and Captain Bill is as genuine as a quide can be. He is very knowledgeable about the Ten Thousand Islands and the fish he locates for you. His skills at creating flies are as great as his ability to place a fly tight to the mangrove shorelines. HIs equipment, as well as his online fly shop, are stellar. Captain Baldus will pole either of his skiffs until you are tired of fishing. His time on the water keeps him constantly aware of where the tarpon, snook, redfish, and other fish are located at all times of the year. Carl Angstrom, D.V.M.
