Stephanie Smith4.7VerifiedGreat Guide Even on a Slow Fishing Day
526 Bigelow st launch Aransas pass on July 2, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a slow day of fishing overall and only ended up with one keeper, but Wesley still made the trip enjoyable and worthwhile. We caught several fish throughout the day, just nothing that met the requirements. Wesley was very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to be around. He worked hard the entire time, trying different spots and strategies to get us on fish and never gave up. Even though the fishing was slow, his attitude and effort really stood out. We really appreciated his experience and would definitely fish with him again on another trip.

Port Aransas pickup morning on September 11, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had a morning trip booked with Capt.Wesley on 9/11 for my Bachelor Trip. Started fishing at 6:30am and were limited out by 9:45am . It was so nice to hang out with the boys and Wesley made the experience very laid back and fun. Definitely would recommend him!
Patty YouRepeat angler4.7Verifiednew experience in shallow water area in Port Aransas
526 Bigelow st launch Aransas pass. on April 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childwe took the evening fishing trip from 5pm-8pm. first time to fish in the evening. it’s kinda a slow day. we got a few bites. the younger angler had caught a first keeper - a black drum. later I caught a slightly over 20” redfish. one thing I appreciate that the captain used live shrimp as lure. he was good putting baits on the hooks and made sure there are five rods in the water all the time even we only have four anglers. he also moved the biat around to seek more activities.
Robert Tolbert5.0VerifiedExcellent trip
526 Bigelow st launch Aransas pass on August 15, 2026 • 2 adultsFirst stop, first cast had fish on (15in Red). Second cast another small red. Then 2 at once, one 24in Red and the other needed a Tag. Then the fish stoped and we moved trying to find them but no luck. Wes was great and we enjoyed talkimg and joaking around the rest of the time. Never a dull moment. We wil be back again. Still an excellent trip.
Debby RichardsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Trip with Grandkids
Port Aransas pickup morning on July 20, 2026 • 3 adultsWe caught 5 keeper Redfish. Boat was smooth & fast. If, fish weren't biting - Capt. moved us to another location. Captain picked us up at Fisherman's Wharf in Port Aransas, so we didn't have to cross the ferry since, staying in Port A. I will contact Capt. Wesley Williams the next time we head to Port A for another great fishing trip.
Kirk Shell4.7VerifiedNewGreat experience
Port Aransas pickup morning on October 6, 2026 • 2 adultsOur first time fishing for redfish had a great time. We did not catch our limit, just one short.  First one we caught we had to register due to it being over 28 inches. Captain Welsey made sure all 6 rods had bait on them during our 5 hour fishing trip.

Devin GutierrezRepeat angler5.0VerifiedRed Head perfect for Red Drum
Port Aransas pickup morning on May 17, 2026 • 2 adultsDefinitely recommend he knew some good spots and very easy to get along with. We were able to only catch 1 Red fish but it was pretty massive 29inches) and he guided us perfectly how to reel him in with ease. If you're never fished before give him a try you'll feel like a pro at the end!

My three brothers and I went out on a 5 hour morning trip out of Port Aransas. The boat was good, equipment was good. Captain Wesley was great, constantly making sure we had hooks baited and lines in the water. Unfortunately we didnt catch a thing for the first four and a half hours. We moved around to different spots trying to find fish with no luck. Finally, at our last stop we started catching some smaller fish and Captain Wesley graciously let us stay out about a bit longer to keep catching them. The experience was great, I would definitely go out with Captain Wesley again. Hopefully the fish are biting next time!
Long time Port A enthusiast and yearly guide booker. biggest problem I see with most guides is a lack of communication and boat rapport. Cpt Wesley excelled at communication with us, very responsive from initial contact on. Cpt Wesley’s boat rapport was excllent as well…I made the comment to him after his initial safety briefing that after 20+ trips he was the 1st to do that. Tuff day of fishing due to higher winds and full moon cycle but he kept us moving and we did catch fish. Highly recommend and we will book again.

While I could have spent all day on the water, 3 hours was the perfect amount of time for my wife that will go fishing just to humor me (and yes: she caught more than me). Captain Wesley made the best of that time. He took us straight to where the fish were and we managed to get several in the boat. Highlight of the trip was snagging a 32-inch red drum! If Captain Wesley is available for your time and date, look no further: book him now!
