Fishing Report In Florida
With the horrible weather, we went out with Josh Regans to do some inshore fishing. Had a blast catching redfish, mangrove and drum.

Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 5, 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!
July 5, 2025
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!
July 5, 2025
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!
July 5, 2025
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!
July 5, 2025
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!
July 5, 2025
Top-notch crew and a great time on the water! Captain Wes was a pleasure to fish with—easy to talk to and truly committed to making sure we had a great experience. I highly recommend High Flying Saltwater Charters and Capt. Wes for anyone looking for a quality trip.
