	“He always finds the fish....Running and gunning!!!” Captain Billy Wummer is one of the hardest working fishing boat captains on the tournament circuit today. I’m not just saying this because he is my brother; I have never seen a captain with more determination to winning then Captain Bill. His preparations for each and every fishing tournament are endless. He never stops trying, even up until the last minute of “lines out” he always keeps a positive attitude that we will hook up at any minute. And then it’s lines in, hammer down to get back to the dock for weigh in. He’s pulled us out on many last minute wins with his non-stop perseverance and win-win attitude. I really believe that Captain Billy has a permanent cell phone attached to his ear. Sometimes I can hear that damn thing ringing in my sleep! He is always on that cell phone gathering updated intelligence and trying to network on where the fish are and where they aren’t. And this, although we continually kid him about being on the phone, has won us many a tournament. Billy has been fishing since he was knee high to a grasshopper. I know this because I taught him. When he was old enough and strong enough to hold onto a rod and reel, it was too late, he had caught the fever. Billy was hooked and there was no turning back. Here's a picture of young Billy fighting a blacktip shark off a local beach some years back. Billy is thirty-seven years old and continues to strive to be the best fishing boat captain around the south Florida, West Palm Beach area. He has been serious tournament fishing for the past five years and has taken us two years in a row to fish the SKA nationals, which is a tremendous feat in itself. Captain Billy will run and gun if that what it takes to win a tournament. By this I mean, he will fish a spot giving it ample enough time to catch a weigher, and if it doesn't happen then he's hammer down to the next good spot. This technique can either make you or break you when fishing heavy competition. The more you run, the less time the baits are in the water. But, on the other hand, if there are no fish around or they just aren’t turned on, then you have to make a decision quick. Do you move…or stick it out? That's where we trust in our captain to do the right thing, and make that crucial decision. That's why he gets paid the big bucks!
