March special (spring break trip)
Captain Ben helped my son have the absolute best 14th birthday ever. He put us on some fish immediately! He knew exactly where to go! He was a great guide and offered the kids some fantastic fishing tips that made all the difference! His expertise and great personality made for a very memorable trip. The boys caught more fish than I ever imagined, and they will surely be talking about this trip for a long time ! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend captain Ben to all my family and friends and we are already talking about booking with him again soon! I am so grateful that he helped give my son an experience of a lifetime.

5 Hour Trip
The morning started out rainy before we left. And the first spot was a little slow, just caught 4 or 5 trout that were short. The 2nd spot we hit was non stop action. Caught our limit of trout in maybe 30-45 minutes, plus a giant 22" over slot trout. The next spot we stopped at 1st cast... 30" bull red. That was our day. We will definitely be back for more!

I gave a good not a great because we didn’t catch but 5 keeper fish between 4 people. It’s fishing not catching. With the weather and the afternoon fishing with the heat of the day I think we did pretty good. Brent really helped our girls out and they had a great time. It was a really fun trip. Would recommend this trip to others.

First time fishing the gulf and first charter. Great experience, Capt. Brent was very knowledgeable about the area and the target species. Fishing was slow for awhile, Capt. Brent put in the work and put us on fish and got two limits of reds. Get time coming back for sure
