Born and raised in Florida, I bring two decades of experience fishing the waters near Bradenton and Anna Maria Island, along with a decade of expertise as a licensed charter captain. I'm passionate about introducing children to the outdoors, and nothing beats the joy and enthusiasm they bring aboard the boat. My love for fishing spans all types, and prior to becoming a guide, I was deeply involved in bass tournaments, competing in FLW and B.A.S.S events throughout the southeastern United States. My mission is to help create unforgettable moments on the water that you’ll cherish forever. I’m flexible with meeting locations to suit your needs.
Had an incredible fishing adventure with Wes. If you want a captain who truly knows the best spots, Wes is the one to call. Out of all my trips, this was by far the most memorable! It was fantastic introducing you ladies to the fishing opportunities around Anna Maria Island – hopefully, we’ll get to do it again soon.
Captain Wes is an outstanding guide. We booked an eight-hour trip and ended up catching more than 80 fish! Thank you, Oleg, for taking us out and showing us the amazing fishing experiences Tampa Bay has in store.
You can cancel without any charge up to 3 days prior to your scheduled trip and get the amount credited back to your account. If you cancel within 3 days of the trip, your deposit will be retained by the guide. For cancellations on the day of the trip or if you do not show up, the full trip cost will be automatically charged to your payment method.
All necessary gear will be provided. However, we suggest packing sunglasses, sunscreen, suitable clothing for the weather, and any additional personal items you may want to have during the trip.
Spend an exciting day fishing across Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, targeting a diverse range of shark species. You'll encounter sharks of various sizes, from as small as 2 feet to impressive giants reaching up to 10 feet. These powerful creatures promise an exhilarating battle, creating unforgettable memories. Depending on the species, some sharks can be kept for a delicious meal, while others are released back into the water to preserve the ecosystem.
