Wes Nelson

Member since June 2020 Destin, United States
Background
Captain Wes has been running charters for over 10 years, and he's still in love with it. He loves fishing and taking people out to show them a good time on the water. He enjoys taking families and kids out, and loves seeing the smiles on their faces after reeling in a big one.
Techniques
I prefer to use live bait to target Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Flounder. Most of the fishing I do will be in water that is less than 5 feet deep and it is very family/kid friendly.
