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.

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

7:00 AM - 11:00 AM

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.

Captain Wes and First Mate Josh were amazing! They knew exactly where to take us, and the action started right away. Our family caught nearly 100 fish, including 24 keepers! Our 13-year-old was hoping to hook something big, so we switched things up and tried trolling — within 10 minutes, he was reeling in a 3-foot Amberjack. We ended the day with 48 fillets and memories we’ll cherish forever. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Wes and his young deckhand were a joy to fish with—friendly, helpful, and professional from start to finish. They struck the perfect balance between offering assistance and letting us enjoy the experience hands-on. It felt like fishing with longtime friends. We caught plenty of fish, especially considering the time of year, and learned a lot about the area along the way. We’ll definitely be booking with them again. Thanks for a great day on the water!

This was our second trip with Capt. Wes, and once again, he delivered a fantastic experience! My son and I were on fish all morning, reeling them in one after another. It was another day he won’t soon forget. We’ll definitely be booking with Capt. Wes year after year!

In mid-August, Wes had us reeling in fish all day long! The action was non-stop, and he made the whole experience even better by sharing how he reads the electronics and offering helpful tips on technique. We really appreciated his knowledge and willingness to teach. There’s no doubt—we’ll be heading back out with Wes again!

We had an awesome time fishing with Capt. Wes! The water got a bit choppy toward the end, but it didn’t slow us down one bit. We caught a great mix of species—lizardfish, squirrelfish, triggerfish, cobia, and more. Already looking forward to doing it all again next year. Thanks, Capt. Wes!

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.
