About Us

The Captain

From the time he was very young, Captain Billy Leidner has loved fishing. He started fishing for a living in 1985 – when he was 16 years old. His dad was a blue water fishing charter boat captain and his grandfather fished for hire too. Ocean City, MD was his home and the offshore fishing there was tremendous. Having also lived in the Outer Banks, big game fishing out of Oregon Inlet, NC is another treasure that he cherishes. Billy has been fishing out of south Florida since 1992, and loves the options that are provided out of the St. Lucie inlet. Having run many large sport fishing boats for wealthy owners – he prefers the thrill of being in the action with the people that charter the “One Call”.

Billy has experience with all types of fishing. Rigging baits is one of his specialties. Also, knowing when and where to put the live baits out – on top or on bottom – is a gift that we prize him with. He enjoys using teasers and “dredges” which is an exciting way to multiply your strikes. Furthermore, kite fishing, deep dropping, wreck fishing, bottom fishing, chunking, chumming, jigging, butterfly jigging, using wire line, planers, slow trolling and high speed trolling are all methods that Billy is experienced with. Ballyhoo’s, lures, mullet, strips and spoons are all used in his fishing program. Drop backs and pitch baiting are techniques that he readily teaches his guided anglers.

Our Captain has a 100 ton masters U.S.C.G. license with a STCW (safety) endorsement. Billy has fished in tournaments from Cape May, NJ to the Bahamas. Tournaments worth noting are the Mid-Atlantic, the White Marlin Open, the Pirate’s Cove tournament, the Buccaneer Cup, the HMY Billfish Blast and the Bahamas Billfish Championship. Always having done well in these competitions, Capt. Billy can gladly accommodate your crew in your tournament of choice.
