Niceville's Top-Rated 4hr Offshore Trip: Red Snapper Success

What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! I had the pleasure of taking Travis and their crew out for a 4hr Offshore AM trip with High Flying Saltwater Charters in Niceville, FL. We set out early in the summer morning, launching at 7:00 am to make the most of the day. The weather started off clear, but we knew we'd be in for some cloud cover later on. That's just part of fishing in the Gulf during June - you've got to be ready for anything. With our gear rigged and ready, we headed out to some of my favorite spots off the Niceville coast. I always enjoy showing folks the best experience on these waters, and today was no exception. We focused on a mix of bottom fishing, trolling, and even some inshore fishing to give Travis and their buddy a taste of everything the area has to offer. The Gulf was treating us well, and before long, we were into some quality fish. The highlight of the day came when one of the crew hooked into a beautiful Red Snapper. After a good fight, we brought it aboard - a solid 25-incher that had everyone grinning. That's the kind of catch that makes these trips memorable. As the afternoon rolled in and the clouds started to gather, we wrapped up our fishing with smiles all around. It's days like this that remind me why I love guiding in these waters. The mix of techniques we used really paid off, giving us a great variety of action throughout the morning. If you're thinking about coming out to Niceville for some world-class saltwater fishing, I'd love to show you what these waters have to offer. Our 4hr Offshore AM trips are perfect for anglers looking to experience the best of the Gulf without committing to a full day. Whether you're after Red Snapper like we caught today, or hoping to tangle with some of the other great species in these waters, High Flying Saltwater Charters has you covered. We provide all the gear and expertise you need for a successful day on the water. From bottom fishing the reefs to trolling for pelagics, or even exploring the inshore waters, we've got the techniques dialed in to put you on fish. Don't miss out on the chance to create your own fishing memories here in Niceville. The summer season is prime time for many species, and the fishing action is hot. Book your trip with us, and let's make your next fishing adventure one for the books. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to saltwater fishing, we'll tailor the experience to ensure you have the best time possible out on the Gulf. Come join us at High Flying Saltwater Charters and see why our trips are known as the best experience in Niceville!

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 26, 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 26, 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 26, 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 26, 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 26, 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.
