“Will was great with our family, including our 12 and 14 year olds. He was patient, shared tricks and teaching, and had a fun positive attitude. We caught several fish and he fillet two of them for us to enjoy tonight. Will was prepared with all the gear, a well maintained boat, and he accommodated a special fish finding request. We felt safe with Will and we appreciated his clean jokes and conversation, and sharing the pilot house with our 14 year old. Would recommend Will for chartering and we look forward to another future trip with him.”
“Book a trip with Captain Will with myself and my good friend Ryan. We went tarpon fishing! What a fabulous experience, we were able to get Ryan his first tarpon! Captain Will had us on the Fish all day and I highly recommend booking a trip! Will was a professional with excellent gear and vessel! We will definitely be back!”
“Saying this was the most productive charter I’ve ever been on would be an understatement. We SLAMMED the fish, so many double ups. From the moment we started fishing to the last cast, we were catching fish. Often within seconds of our bait hitting the water. Captain Nate knows his stuff and we happily recommend him!”
“We will definitely fish or be guided in the future with Lake & Stream. My husband and I are pretty avid fishermen, and let me tell you, our guide Eric was an expert and showed us the deal with freshwater lake fishing. Fun half day, caught walleye and some other stuff. I can HIGHLY recommend and we have fished in a LOT of places in various situations, and I can say with complete candor, you will enjoy your time and learn a LOT. Thank you so much for some hours of fun!! We’ll be back and bring our friends and family next time :)”
“Vacation hit a high note on our fishing trip with Captain Eric. He is one of the hardest working Captains I seen in a long time . You will catch fish and have a ton of laughs doing so. He has a great boat with top of the line tackle and his years of experience will make for a memorable outing. This should be on everyone’s list of things to do while in Ellijay. Thanks Eric and I hope to get back out with you again. Oh yes, LOVED the Green Snapper.”
As of September 17, 2026 the mullet run is pretty slow along east central Florida and specifically the Sebastian Florida Area. We haven’t had a good mullet run for about 8-10 years and if we don’t get some north winds
September fishing has been great, and there’s no reason to think things will slow down much in October. As the cold fronts start to move through, we should continue to see good action in the Indian River Lagoon and along
September has been great for fishing so far, and after yesterday, seeing that big school of tailing redfish gives me great hope that this fall is going to be lights out! September is half way over and we have put
