My 11yo Son’s Birthday present
3/4 Day Trip on June 18, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Wes, was great. The fishing was tuff, as the other guides were calling him to see if he had found any fish. However, he soon put us on some quality fish, and my son had a great time and can’t wait to go again. We caught Red Snapper large enough we had to throw them back as they were over the legal length limit. Thanks again, We’ll be back!

Half Day Trip on April 11, 20262 adults

We booked an am trip. Captain Wes was early getting the boat set for us. We started out to the first couple spots they were hit or miss. We caught a couple sheephead. Then he thought to check out one more spot before we headed in. I am glad we did. It was a honey hole we got a bunch of nice size fish and my son got 2 worth a citation. ( a award for fish) . One was 10 lbs and the other was 8.7. I couldn't of asked for a better day. Thank you for the trip out. I would highly recommend.

Immaculate boat and
Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on October 7, 20252 adults

Yesterday’s fishing trip (10/702025) was a standout experience. The boat captain was fastidious in every sense—his vessel was spotless, and he kept it that way throughout the day, scrubbing away blood and grime the moment he had a chance. He was talkative, sharp, and attentive, never waiting for things to happen but always anticipating the next move. Fishing this time of year can be hit or miss, and we knew that going in. But the captain didn’t leave it to chance—he coordinated with other captains, exchanged advice, and stayed in touch throughout the day to help put everyone on the fish. That kind of teamwork made a difference. It was a slow bite, but still productive: we caught a couple of perfect-sized red drum for eating and several bluefish, including a solid 28-inch specimen. By the end, we had more fish than we could eat in a few days. Between the pristine boat, the captain’s energy, and the collaborative spirit on the water, it was a trip that hit all the marks. Captain Wes is a winner!

Great 1/2 day trip with Fish Hatteras!
Half Day Trip on June 30, 20263 adults

Went on a morning trip. Captain Wes was great! He engaged and worked well with everyone from 5-62. Such a nice patient guy with our 5 year old. He thought it was slow but we wound up with 10 keepers. I would highly recommend Fish Hatteras and hope to book him again.
