Fishing with Capt. Billy, (a teachers perspective).
I have been teaching for 25 years and for this year's Spring Break I wanted to learn something new and exciting. Being a local, and having heard of Capt. Billy's reputation, I hired him to take me and another teacher out for a sport fishing lesson. This was an experience neither of us will ever forget!

The scenery was spectacular and Billy proved to be both a charming and gifted teacher. I learned how to spot cast and how to look for permit and bonefish in the water. By the end of the day, I was able to spot my own bonefish, accurately cast to him, hook him, and release him safely.

Guys, if you want to teach your wives, girlfriends, or daughters how to fish, Capt Billy Rabito is a great instructor who knows how to keep it fun. Girls, get out there and learn to fish - it's not just a guy's sport.

Fishing with Capt Billy is an incredible experience and you won't find a better teacher or guide in the Keys…take it from a teacher!

I acquired a love for fishing from my dad at the ripe old age of six. He has traveled practically  all over the United States, salmon fishing in New York, bass fishing in New Brunswick, and marlin fishing in Cabo. Dad has a friend who owns a house in Big Pine Key, Florida, about twenty miles from Key West. When my father has some extra cash, he loves to take me out on a charter for I think he enjoys me taking an interest in the sport. I spent this last spring break with Dad and he insisted that we charter with the legendary Captain Billy Rabito, Sr., the guide for A1A Sport Fishing. Captain Billy, being a Keys' native, knows the waters off Big Pine Key like the back of his hand; he's undoubtedly the best captain around. Dad's dream is to become a flats' guide, so Billy has been like a mentor to him. Since you are spending the majority of the day on a relatively small boat, you want a captain who is friendly, outgoing, and a joy to be around. Captain Billy is that, plus he doesn't hesitate to change location if the fishing is slow. Billy worked with me on my casting and before long, I was putting it in front of the fish and hooking up. He ultimately heightened my interest and competitiveness out on the water. I like to think that being able to connect with Dad with something he loves really made my day. I'll never forget that day that Dad and I spent with Captain Billy, and I'm sure we'll do it again.

For someone who lives in the Keys, Capt. Billy provides an opportunity to quickly learn how to fish in the Keys. If you're visiting, why waste your entire vacation learning what you can learn in a day by chartering the right captain."

"I've enjoyed fishing with Capt. Billy as a local Keys resident not only because it's fun, but also because it's a good way to improve my fishing game.

With today's fuel prices, it pays to make the most out of every trip. Go fishing with Billy and you'll see what I mean."
