Taylor Wess

Member since November 2022 North Myrtle Beach, United States
Background
Born in west central Pennsylvania the water has always called my name. I started fishing as soon as I could walk and most other outdoor sports and activities soon after. I started my boating career at the age of 10 when my Father taught me the ropes of fishing. As a child, my grandparents used to take me down South throughout the years when we befriended a charter boat captain in Florida who made it a point to teach me everything he could about the game. After that learning experience, I began my own journey around Myrtle Beach, just as I once learned the freshwater fishing in Pennsylvania and saltwater fishing in Florida. It didn’t take me long to start figuring out the wheres, hows, and whys in Myrtle Beach that let me catch my fair share of fish. I’ve always been a fast learner and my attention to detail helps tremendously with consistently getting us on the fish. I’ve spent and still spend countless hours researching and studying fish and their specific habits. This has helped me learn many great fishing areas quickly and efficiently. After the loss of my father and grandfather, who instilled the love of fishing in me, I decided to finally go for it and start Nauti Buoy Fishing Charters to share this love. While I may seem young for the job, I can offer you an unforgettable experience aboard the Nauti Buoy as we go after nearshore and offshore varieties of fish. I’m not afraid to teach you this game just as I was taught by a captain many years ago.

My favorite is offshore trolling but who doesn’t love catching grouper as well?
