Capt Zachery is excellent. He is very personable. He’s passionate to ensure every customer is pleased. Created lifelong memories for my son & I. We caught several species of fish. Some of which my son could barely reel in. My son was so funny.

6 Hour Trip (PM) on October 8, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

I almost summed everything up in the headline above. However, to expand a little, I would highly recommend Captain Zachery for any charter fishing trip you prefer. He has a very wide knowledge range of guiding for many species of fish. From smaller inshore fish to the larger fish offshore Capt Zach has the experience. It is easy, you make your choice of the fish you want to target and Capt. Zachery will do his absolute best to put you on the fish of your choice. As a 40+yr fisherman myself, I certainly know sometimes you don’t get to catch your target fish. However, if that’s the case, Captain Zachery will definitely find other schools of fish to catch and make lifetime memories for your group as well.

Absolutely brilliant fishing trip!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 13, 2025 • 2 adults

I’ve never fished, but have been promising my son for years we’d go… so we finally took the plunge and booked with Wet Lines while in Clearwater on vacation. The day could not have been better… we fished 3 locations, and caught at least 20 fish (we kept 2 trout and 2 redfish, which our hotel will cook for us). Captain Kyle was fantastic - so knowledgeable, always helpful and great fun. (He also filleted and packed the fish for us when we got in). Honestly, this was the best day I’ve had with my son for many years. Could not recommend it highly enough!

Tough fishing but a great time

8 Hour Tarpon Trip on August 5, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

Fishing was pretty tough because it was so hot out and the lack of rain. Zach contacted me a couple days in advance to let me know this may be the case and we came up with an alternative game plan, which I really appreciated. Even though it was tough, we still caught a fair amount of mangrove, and sea trout. We also caught some Red’s, needle fish, lady fish, and catfish. It was just me and my 12 year old son. Zach was very patient with us and novice abilities.

With Captain Zachary George of Wetlines Fishing it is called “Catching” not Fishing!

6 Hour Trip on August 1, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

Each time we go fishing with Capitan Zachary George he finds the fish. Inshore water is hot but Capitan Zach kept us on the fish. He worked hard to find fish and to keep bait on our hooks because the fish just kept hitting. We got into a school of Jack Crevalle that gave really big fights. Caught sea trout, Redfish and as always a couple of smaller sharks that did a little air time before cutting the line. We had a super fun day.

Exceeded expectations!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 22, 2025 • 2 adults

As an avid freshwater/tournament angler, this trip far exceeded my expectations and was the most fun I’ve had fishing in a long time. We booked a morning birthday trip with Zach at Wet Lines and had an AWESOME day - my wife caught a fish on her first cast and the catches never stopped. We caught 8 different species (sea trout, crevalle jack, mangrove snapper, redfish, lady fish, grouper, flounder, and catfish), hooked up with a huge shark and a big stingray, had dolphins and manatees swim all around to the boat, and landed tons of fish and lost more than we could count all by 10:30am. Zach was kind, entertaining, and very knowledgeable, and made the trip an absolute blast. I appreciated that he was quick to move locations if there were no fish in an area. To top it off, he cleaned our fish and recommended a local restaurant for us to bring our fish to, which made for the best fish tacos we had all week. You will not be disappointed, and we will absolutely book with Wet Lines Fishing again if we’re in the area!!
