Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Wes consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers regularly catching 50-100 fish per trip including keeper snapper, triggerfish, cobia, and impressive amberjack. His expertise shines through his ability to read electronics, share fishing techniques, and adapt methods based on conditions - switching from bottom fishing to trolling to help a 13-year-old land a 3-foot amberjack within minutes. Families often leave with dozens of fillets and unforgettable memories. Customers appreciate Wes's genuine personality and thoughtful approach to hospitality. He accommodates different pickup locations to maximize water time, monitors weather conditions days ahead to ensure optimal trips, and tailors experiences for mixed-age groups with varying skill levels. Many guests describe fishing with him as being with longtime friends, praising his balance of helpful guidance while letting everyone enjoy hands-on fishing. Repeat customers book year after year and consistently recommend High Flying Saltwater Charters to other anglers.

Excellent fishing experience with total customer satisfaction. The captain even cleaned, filleted, and bagged the fish for immediate cooking. I wouldn’t book with any other boat—this captain is the real deal!

Trip - Half Day Snapper And Grouper Fishing Trip - Niceville, Florida on August 4, 2025

Great trip. Weather wasn’t looking very favorable contacted WES and he let us know what the conditions were going to be and that as long as we didn’t mind getting a little bit wet, we could make it work and he absolutely did. He was very knowledgeable and just made everything a fun time . Works great with the kids and explaining everything to them and getting us on the fish he also worked with the weather and kept us safe. look forward to booking with him again in the future you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great trip with Captain Wes! We had a small group of varying ages and experience levels, and we all caught at least one good-sized Snapper and multiple other species. Wes was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer our questions about the fish and the equipment we were using. He was very accommodating...he made sure the adults and kids each had opportunities to catch a variety of fish using different poles, bait, and methods. Prior to the trip Wes was an excellent communicator. He reached out to set the expectations of the trip and began monitoring the weather a few days out. We ended up delaying our trip due to weather based on his recommendation, and we are glad we did. The weather that day ended up being terrible, but it was perfect when we rebooked. When he found out where we were staying, he changed the pickup/drop off location to cut down on our travel time and maximize our time on the water. Everyone in our group would highly recommend Captain Wes and High Flying Charters to anyone looking to book a trip. I know we will definitely use him again next time we are in town.

10/10 recommend for locals or tourists alike! Wes was extremely attentive and flexible to what we wanted to get out of the trip when it came to trolling, bottom fishing, fish for eating vs fun to catch, and tailored everything to what we wanted. He had us on fish all day at every spot we tried. Both of us on the trip have done a lot of fishing and this was one of the best charters we’ve done. Lots of snapper and trigger fish all day that were fun to fight and reel in, plus the monster that broke the line and got away.
