Tall Tails Guide Service
Apalachicola has a fish with your name on it, so let Tall Tails Guide Service help you catch it! Captain Wes will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of professional experience.
Fishing around here will often see you targeting Tripletail, Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, Whiting, White Seatrout, Sheepshead and more with any luck. For these species, you're likely to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. You're welcome to bring snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
Your vessel for the day is a 22' TwinVee center console with capacity for 5 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures. All bait is included coveted by the captain. Fish cleaning may be included depending on the species caught.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), lunch or snacks and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

4 Hour Trip – Tripletail (AM)
Great day on the bay!
Had a great morning fishing with Capitan Wes we caught the Gulls feeding on baitfish and stop to try. We loaded the boat with 58 sea Trout, got to catch one blacktop shark, several sail cats, a stingray, Croaker and a few angle fish, went to try for a couple Ress but they had lockjaw. On the way back we stop at several Tripple Tail spots. Caught one 21” and had to throw back one that was 1” short of the size limit, tripple tail were a blast to catch

4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (AM)
Great fishing
Plenty of fish....flounder, red, white trout, crocker, lots of fish to have cleaned 102 in 4 hours for 5 men. We hit the bay, river and creeks. Always fun fishing around Apalachicola! Knew exactly where to go for what fish you wanted.

4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing (PM)
Great fishing
Captain Wes took us out in the bay to catch some fish and we tore it up. I then started to get sea sick and he then brought us up into the river for a smoother time. We caught red fish, sting ray, flounder, croakers, and a sheepshead. Had a great time and I can’t wait to go back to Florida!

3 Hour Trip – Quick Trip (AM)
We slammed 'em!
Wes took us on a near shore fishing adventures. He was great with our kids (10 and 13) and we caught tons of whiting, catfish, a black drum, a pigmouth, black sea bass, and a sting ray! We know catching fish is never a guarantee but when Wes realized we were not in a great spot, we moved to a new location quickly so we had the best chance to catch things we could keep! We highly recommend and hope to be back on the water with him in the future!

4 Hour Trip – Tripletail (AM)
Great day(s) on the water
Most days on the water are good but Wes made our trip even better! He was great with our group that varied with experience, from beginners to experienced. You could tell he has been navigating the waters around Apalach for a long time. He took us to several great spots and we caught a bunch! We highly recommend Wes and will be going out with him our next time down in Apalach!
