Great Experience & Great Recommendations
We had a great time out on the water with Captain Bennett. While it was a poor day for fishing by Bennett’s standards, Bennett took us around to his best spots doing everything he could to help us catch from fish. We ended up catching a few including Mangrove Snapper, Spanish Mackerel, and surprisingly a bass! In the downtime between bites he shared his knowledge on the fishing rods and reels he uses and recommends for those switching over to do more saltwater fishing. I plan to take his advice and order a few before my next trip down. I definitely plan to book with Canton Bay Charters the next time I am in the area.

Awesome Guide! Highly recommended!
First off he was more than accommodating. The fish early morning were not cooperating so we went into deeper water. We were on fish then and they didn’t stop. We caught mangrove snappers, a shark and a few other species. We decided to go back to look for slot reds. On our way back to Magnolia river, he spotted a triple tail under a crab trap bouy. We hooked up and that was my first triple tail. It was a great trip
