I'll spare all the puff from a normal review and just tell you that it's a full time job catching (not just fishing) with Ben. From the 1st drop till freezer was full, we caught quality fish. He catered to a gew special requests we had and made sure our group of 5 would have to argue who's arm was most capable to drive home. . We will 100% come again soon!
Captain Benji is a great young man that absolutely loves what he does and he shares that love with his clients. We went out with him for a 3 hour trip for Vermillion Snapper and he got us on them. However, a dolphin showed up in scene and completely shut our fishing down in that spot. Benji moved us around trying to find fish until we decided as a group to go after some Amber Jack to carch and release. That was awesome! A bery strong athletic fish. I will be using Better Dayz Fishing for our next trip.
Fished with Benji on 5/27/2026. My family and I had a great time. Benji was great with communication especially since we had to push the trip back a few hours due to rain and weather. Caught our target species. Boat was clean and ran great! I would recommend anybody to fish with Benji.
Captain Benji knows his craft very well and works hard the whole time. He put us on fish and as soon as the bait hit the bottom they were fighting over it. He kept up with all of us bouncing from one to another. Great captain. Great rig. Awesome day!! James
Captain Benji was personable, knowledgeable, funny, attentive… all the things you’re looking for on a fish trip. We caught some fish, had some laughs, and made a new friend with Benji. Looking forward to next year. we will definitely be calling him again!
