Wesley Bodden

Member since April 2025 Port O'Connor, United States
Background
I was born and raised along the Texas Gulf Coast. After graduating from Angleton High School, I joined the USAF and was assigned to Goodfellow AFB in San Angelo TX. After serving 4 years, I went to work for the City of San Angelo, where I spent the next 23 years, often returning to the coast to fish, with Port O'Connor being my primary spot. I retired 23 years later, in 2015, and moved to Port O'Connor, and started up LuredOut Guide Service. Ive been a full time guide here every since. I specialize in artificial bait fishing, but the main goal is to ensure my clients have an enjoyable experience and catch fish.
Techniques
I specialize in artificial bait fishing.. For the experienced angler, this offers a true challenge. However, this method is not always productive. Adjustments are always made to meet the preferences of my clients.

Captain Wess worked his tail off to get us on fish! Ended up catching a wide assortment of fish from trout, reds, and the kids...
