Ratings & Reviews Summary
April 19, 2025
Captain Wes and First Mate Josh were amazing! They knew exactly where to take us, and the action started right away. Our family caught nearly 100 fish, including 24 keepers! Our 13-year-old was hoping to hook something big, so we switched things up and tried trolling — within 10 minutes, he was reeling in a 3-foot Amberjack. We ended the day with 48 fillets and memories we’ll cherish forever. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Wes and his young deckhand were a joy to fish with—friendly, helpful, and professional from start to finish. They struck the perfect balance between offering assistance and letting us enjoy the experience hands-on. It felt like fishing with longtime friends. We caught plenty of fish, especially considering the time of year, and learned a lot about the area along the way. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Thanks for a great day on the water!

This was our second trip with Capt. Wes, and once again, he delivered a fantastic experience! My son and I were on fish all morning, reeling them in one after another. It was another day he won’t soon forget. We’ll definitely be booking with Capt. Wes year after year!

In mid-August, Wes had us reeling in fish all day long! The action was non-stop, and he made the whole experience even better by sharing how he reads the electronics and offering helpful tips on technique. We really appreciated his knowledge and willingness to teach. There’s no doubt—we’ll be heading back out with Wes again!

We had an awesome time fishing with Capt. Wes! The water got a bit choppy toward the end, but it didn’t slow us down one bit. We caught a great mix of species—lizardfish, squirrelfish, triggerfish, cobia, and more. Already looking forward to doing it all again next year. Thanks, Capt. Wes!
