Great trip. Weather wasn’t looking very favorable contacted WES and he let us know what the conditions were going to be and that as long as we didn’t mind getting a little bit wet, we could make it work and he absolutely did. He was very knowledgeable and just made everything a fun time . Works great with the kids and explaining everything to them and getting us on the fish he also worked with the weather and kept us safe. look forward to booking with him again in the future you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome time with Captain Wes!
Our first time out in the ocean and it did not disappoint. We caught a big red grouper and a nice red snapper. Had three or four other big snappers on but just couldn't land them. Caught a bunch of keeper vermilion snapper. Had enough fish we took it right into the marina restaurant and had it fresh and it was so good. His mate Landon is a great kid and helped us all so much. Captain Wes was great with my kids and wanted to make sure they had a great time. Would definitely recommend!

Great experience!
These guys were great, Capt. Heath Howle went above and beyond to get us on the fish. Him and his crew kept the rods in the water and were continuously baiting the hooks and switching rods to ensure we always had line out. There were 2 adults and 3 kids on this trip and boat had plenty of space. They were great with the kids and would recommend these guys and would book again.

Great morning at sea!
Capt. Wes and first mate Josh were fantastic! They brought us right to the fish! Our family caught close to a hundred fish including 24 keepers! Our 13 yo wanted to catch something big- so we tried trolling and within 10 minutes Capt. Wes had him reeling in a 3 ft Amberjack. We went home with 48 filets and a lifetime of memories. Thank you again for a truly unforgettable day!
