Old drum fishing trip
on August 20, 2024

I can honestly say Captain Wes worked harder than any guide I ever had on locating fish and ensuring I got my bucket list drum. He was pleasant to be around and had a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area.

Fishing my whole life, I decided to step up my game and start a guiding career in Alaska. I fished and worked in various lodges and employed various techniques for 21 years. From fly fishing fickle rainbows to jigging for monster halibut, I truly enjoyed my Alaska guiding experience. I now pursue the inshore game fish that captivated my NC youth. From flounder and speckled trout to huge redfish, my Summer and Fall is now spent on coastal water from Southport to Pamlico Sound.
