We had a great morning of fishing with Captain Will. He was ready for us upon arrival and fishing we went. He is very knowledgeable of the area and knew where the fish were biting. Was a great experience and will definitely go out fishing with him again.

Cora Segura

Highly recommended Will for a great trip. He is knowledgeable, respectful and determined to make sure everyone enjoys the day.

Andy Stokes

Will Jones is outstanding -- and I use that term intentionally -- fishing guide in the area he serves in coastal North Carolina. I have fished several times with him, and Will is truly a pleasure. He is excited about fishing and his chosen profession, and he goes the extra mile to make his charters fun and productive. No guide can guarantee success on every outing -- that's not the nature of fishing -- but Will works as hard as he can to put you in a position to be successful. There are many guides from whom to choose in the areas he serves, and many of them are excellent, but if I have my choice at the times I can go, I always call Will. He has my highest recommendation.

Chip Pearsall

Capt. Will Jones is a skilled guide who knows where to find the fish! We were targeting the old drum bite. He had found the bite with a client the day before and took us right to them! We reeled in some monsters and had a blast. I was impressed with Capt. Will's local connections, which make a real difference in knowing where to go to find the fish. Our trip was worth every penny! Highly recommend him as a guide!

Luke Edwards

This guy works hard to ensure his clients are getting the best opportunities to get hooked up. Very knowledgeable about his local fisheries. We did a trophy red drum trip with Will and it did not disappoint! We had a double hookup of a 43” and 47” giant drum. Will definitely be booking with Will again. Highly suggest if you’re reading this that you do the same!

Robert Strickland

Will really know his stuff when it comes to guiding his clients to successful hookups. He helps me check off one of my bucket list items of catching false albacore on the fly! Highly recommended!

Harry Forrest

My wife and I fished with Will for the last 3 days. This was the 3rd time we have traveled to NC to fish with Will. We have fished dozens of charters in the US and around the world and Will is the 1st guide we have ever booked a 2nd and now 3rd trip with.

Fishing was great and he knows his stuff! We recommend him highly.

Peter Mogren

My son and I fished with Capt Will the last week of August this year. We actually fished with 3 different guides that week and this was probably our most enjoyable experience overall. The Bull Reds were not cooperating that week in general but we had some fantastic topwater action stalking slot reds in a very shallow bay where they were chasing huge schools of menhaden. He worked all morning trying to get us on the reds as they moved around in very shallow water and were often hard to approach. It was challenging but tremendous fun as they repeatedly slashed aggressively and explosively on top. Definitely would recommend Capt Will. The Nicelys, Virginia

Nolan Nicely

We had an amazing fishing experience with Capt. Will! We booked two full days and stayed busy catching plenty of fish. Will is very knowledgeable about where the fish are and did everything he could to get us hooked. We caught plenty of red drum, and even a 30-pound blacktip shark. Despite windy conditions, we were able to make the most of our days on the water. We had an unforgettable time and highly recommend taking a trip with Bounty Hunter!

Savannah Steward

Great knowledgeable guide! Beautiful water and plenty of fish! Second year Captain Will has put me on the bull reds! Always a pleasure!

Mary Weingart

Capt. Will is awesome! Never a dull moment... He knows the fish! This is one of the greatest highlights of our annual beach trip every summer!

Laurie R. Bryan

The weather for our charter was not in our favor, and Will was determined to get us on the fish and he did. We caught a dozen Spanish mackerel, some blues and more. Had two kids with us and he was great with our family. My husband caught his first shark, and we loved seeing schools of porpoise up close! We will definitely go out with Will again, he’s very knowledgeable!

Felicia Lorelli

Capt. Will put us on the Fall Trout! We limited out and had a blast! He knows his stuff about Marine Electronics, check him out at West Marine, Morehead City, NC! I guarantee you'll learn something new about fishing!

Fred Adams

Was referred to Bounty Hunter for a morning outing with my 2 daughters and Grandpa. Capt. Will was very accommodating to both 9 & 11 year old. They were not used to open reel casting. Slow start to morning but Will was determined to put them on fish. Caught a lot of blues. Great to be around as well. You won't be disappointed.

Jason Yeatts

I took my sons out with Will for a day of drum fishing. He put it on the big Old Drum. Great day on the water. He is a nice young man that really knows what he is doing. I will definitely fish with him again.

Bill Paynter

Capt Will is a great guide! We've fished together several times and he is knowledgeable about the Crystal Coast and techniques used to catch fish! Friendly guy who ensures clients have a great day on the water .
