Hear What My Clients Have To Say
“Excellent day. We caught around forty fish, laughed and had a great time. Capt. Wes is personable, knowledgeable and makes sure you have a great experience!”
-Shane Runyon
“This charter experience was very enjoyable. Easy to get to location, ample parking, short walk to the boats. Captain was gassed up, iced, up and ready to run earlier than the appointment time. Capt. Wes is very friendly and easy going. He is there to serve the clients and put them in position to catch fish. We caught plenty of fish to eat and plenty of fish to photograph, and release. Fun day. We will definitely book with Capt. Wes again.”
-Daniel Meloon
“Excellent Charter!!! We had a great time with Wes and caught over 20 fish in 4 hours! Wes is great with the kids and very knowledgeable about the different types of fish and demographics. We really enjoyed our day out on the water him!”
-Scott Carvin
“Capt Wes is truly amazing. He is very personable, knows the waters. We were catching fish all morning during our four hour trip. My three boys (ages 14, 12 & 11) did not want the trip to end after catching Mackerel, Trout, Snook and Ladyfish. A few years ago we chartered a boat while in Hawaii and did not catch a single fish. Capt Wes has by boys excited about deep sea fishing again. We highly recommend Capt Wes Burns!”

Charters FAQ’s
-
What you catch will be dependent on what type of trip option you pick, but you can count on catching a vareity of different species when booking an inshore or nearshore charter.
-
I fish inshore and nearshore and that means fishing inside Tampa Bay and the surrounding beaches. Residential docks, Tampa Bay reefs, mangrove islands, channel drop-offs, bridges, etc. One thing you can count on is you’ll never be out of sight of land.
-
Tipping of the Captain is customary. 10% - 20% of the charter fee is very much appreciated if the trip goes well and your expectations are met.
-
If the Captain cancels the trip for any reason (weather or an emergency) 100% of any deposit will be returned. Any cancelation by the client up to 48 hours before the day of the trip, 100% of the deposit will be returned, cancelation with-in the 48 hour period before the scheduled trip, the deposit will not be returned.

Sun block, hat, sunglasses and light colored clothes are suggested for the summer months. Warmer clothes in the winter months. Any food and soft drinks you would like for duration of the trip.
