Tall Tails Guide Service
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.

Great day on the bay!
4 Hour Trip – Tripletail (AM) on July 27, 2025 • 3 adultsHad 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
Kasey Price5.0VerifiedWe slammed 'em!
3 Hour Trip – Quick Trip (AM) on April 1, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWes 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!
Tyler RobertsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat fishing
4 Hour Trip – Bay Fishing - 2:00 PM on July 3, 2025 • 5 adults • 2 childrenCaptain 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!
Kayla Pinson5.0VerifiedGreat Time!
4 Hour Trip – Fishing Fun (AM) on March 19, 2025 • 6 adults • 1 childWes was a great Captain and very knowledgeable. He put us on many different species of fish and kept our lines baited. He also took us around the whole bay and into the Gulf so we got to see it all. I highly recommend him!

4 Hour Trip – Sunset Bay Fishing on November 3, 2023Wes is my go to fishing captain when in town. He's taken us bunch of rookies (my family) out a couple of times for some fall fishing and we are never disappointed. He's patient, flexible, knows the area well, and we always come home with something. Next we're going to try for Tripletail...
Kara Bunte4.3VerifiedCaptain Wes was awesome!
