Captain Ben and his deck hand, Ryan, were phenomenal. We did the half day trip and they got us right on some fish. Ryan ran his booty off keeping our hooks baited, giving tips, getting our fish in the cooler and we were catching as soon as our hooks were in the water. Captain Ben communicated with us several times before the trip, gave us great expectations on what types of fish we would be going after, and made the trip fun and informative. The boat itself is very nice. She’s roomy enough for our group of 5, comfortable, well equipped and the bathroom on board was a huge plus. We will definitely be repeat customers!
Hey Deborah, your group did an awesome job catching those sheepshead. Yo also caught another 14 throwbacks or so just under the size limit. Y'all were fun and enthusiastic group. Thank you for fishing with us and we look forward to your return. Enjoy eating those fillets!
Caught 9 sharks on our bachelor trip. Captain Ben and Luke were great at lining us out and setting up the group for success. they communicated well as well. Had some weather in the morning of, but they reached out to us and reassured an altered takeoff time. Definitely recommend.
What a great group today! These guys hung in there and caught some sharks against all odds. Thank you for fishing with us. I hope you enjoy dining on your catch.
CPT Ben and hands helped our family have a great time on our first salt water fishing excursion. Superb work keeping our hooks baited and in front of the fish. Tips and pointers were instrumental in helping us get fish on - and on the boat. Highly recommend.
Hey Kain, We really enjoyed having you and family fishing with us! Ya’ll caught on really fast. I hope you enjoyed eating your catch at our local restaurant. thank you for fishing with us and if you ever come back from Wyoming to the Ms Gulf Coast area please get in touch
What a great experience for our family. Hard to put into words the enjoyment watching my 11 year old real in a fish the size of a cooler! She will remember that forever. Beautiful afternoon and evening spent catching fish with my loved ones. Captain Ben was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Ryan took care of all of us, we were pampered fishermen & women. Thank you so much. We would love to come back!
You and your Family are the best! we really enjoyed y’all fishing-with us. Your daughter did a awesome job reeling in the big Bull Red. Thank you for choosing Captain Ben’s Charters and I look forward to our next Reel Adventure with you and family!
Captain Ben and deckhand Isaiah were fantastic! Our family had a great experience catching Bull Reds and fishing for sharks. We ended up bringing in 4 huge bull reds. I definitely recommend Captain Ben’s Charters to anyone!
Ashley, what a great family you have we enjoyed the excitement your boys showed reeling in those Bull Reds. I bet never a dull moment with those two! Thank you for fishing with us! I hope to see y’all again.
