Wes was an awesome captain I'd recommend him to anyone who wanted to go on a fishing charter. We plan on going on a lot more trips with him in the future

I've been fishing many times and Reel Life Charters is an extremely good choice for you or your family's fish outing. Communication was terrific, and everything else was as advertised or better.

About THE CAPTAIN
Fishing since he was 8
Captain Wesley Mitchell started fishing at the age of 8, when he caught his first scamp grouper, and grouper is still his favorite fish to target. He has a passion for fishing and loves sharing it with the people on his boat, whether they're experienced anglers or brand new to it. He fishes with rod and reel, slow pitch jigs and live bait.
Out of Cudjoe Key he fishes the reefs and wrecks for yellowtail, mutton and mangrove snapper and grouper, runs offshore for mahi, tuna, wahoo, sailfish and king mackerel, sends baits deep for snowy grouper and queen snapper, and goes after broadbill swordfish. For a longer day, he runs west to the Dry Tortugas.
Reel Life is a US Coast Guard-registered charter company, and safety comes first. Every trip is tailored to your group and your skill level.
