Captain Wes was fantastic.  Put us on Fish. We had a great time. I saved his number for my next trip down to Tampa Bay!!

Captain Weston may not be the oldest captain in the fleet, but growing up in St. Petersburg makes him as experienced as a 20-year veteran. He was highly knowledgeable about the annual movements of the fish we were targeting and all of the food and nutrients that determine where our catches were and what they were feeding on. He was calling the shots on where to cast and could almost count down the second we were going to get our bites. 

If you are going to go on a charter with Captain Weston (which I highly recommend), call him a day or two in advance to talk about what the tide is going to be like on the day of your trip to plan the best time to maximize your catch.

My brother and I took my two boys (9 and 11 years old) fishing with Weston, and we had a blast! Caught lots of fish, saw dolphins and manatees, and even feed dolphins from the side of the boat. Weston had several good spots we went to and ensured we always had bait on our lines, we always had our lines in the water, and in the right spots. I was very impressed how diligently he worked to help my boys manage their lines (rebaiting, casting, realing in,...). We’ll be coming back!

Went on a half day fishing trip with Captain Weston starting early in the morning. He took us to several spots throughout Tampa Bay where we caught Snook, Redfish, Trout, and a couple other species. He had a full live well full of fresh bait he had caught early that morning right when we arrived. He got us onto fishing spots extremely quickly, was willing to bait our hooks, unhook fish, untangle lines, give us casting tips, and anything else we wanted to make it an easy and fun experience. I have been on numerous fishing charters throughout Florida and have never caught anywhere near as many fish as I did with Captain Weston. He truly knows fishing, Tampa Bay, and how to handle a charter trip extremely well. I highly recommend Captain Weston’s charter for a productive and fun day of fishing.

Scheduled a last minute trip with Captain Weston due to another boat canceling with engine problems.  Captain Weston and his assistant Jake took good care of us.  Visited several different sites looking for the active bite Picked up a few random fish when Jake spotted an active school of Crevalle Jack feeding in the distance.  After zooming over there my 14 year old daughter and I were doubled up on two 15+ pounders that took 20 minutes to land.  After taking pictures, we were doubled up again where I landed the 16 pounder pictured.  The great day was capped by the drive in where the Captain spotted dolphins and deliberately increased his wake which drew the dolphins in to play and jump in the boats wake.  Thanks Weston and Jake for a great day!
