Captain Bill Nemec

Bill Nemec was born and raised in southeastern Pennsylvania and grew up fishing local ponds and streams for many years. In 1971 Captain Bill moved to Ft Myers, FL and was introduced to the "Big O" which is what the locals call Lake Okeechobee. Bill started fishing local and regional tournaments along with national tournaments on occasion.

It wasn't long before Bill's reputation brought him to work as one of the "Top 7" guides as Roland Martin called them at his marina. This was where Wild Shiner fishing was discovered and became the way for most anglers to achieve a trophy for the wall. Bill will be happy to give you the in-depth stories of these years as you pursue your own trophy largemouth bass on beautiful Lake Okeechobee. Below are just a few of Captain Bill's credits:

• 34 years experience on Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades
• Life Member of BASS
• Featured on Bassmaster television show fishing wild shiners
• Articles in Florida Sportsman on worm fishing along with other publications
• Won or placed in many local and regional tournaments throughout Florida
• USCG Licensed Captain
