- Background
- Captain Ben has been fishing the waters of Cape Cod Massachusetts since he was just 10 years old. Ben is a USCG licensd captain, CPR certified, and has hundreds of hours of experience on his local waters. He specializes in light tackle inshore fishing for Striped Bass and False Albacore. His favorite way to fish is throwing large topwater plugs for big Striped Bass. Ben has landed numerous 30-40 pound class Stripers over the years all over the Massachusetts coastline. This past Spring Ben landed a 51 inch Striper from his kayak casting a soft plastic at first light. Ben caught his first Tuna at age 12, a 130 pound Bluefin landed on standup 50 pound class gear. Ben has worked at local Cape Cod tackle shop "Sports Port" in Hyannis for the past four summers, further deepening his knowledge of the local fishing scene and allowing him to stay dialed in on the bite. Ben is a natural born teacher, he is patient, cooperative, and enthusiastic both on and off the water. During the "offseason" Ben teaches middle school Social Studies, while of course squeezing in as much fishing time as possible on the weekends. Whether it be from his kayak, tin boat, or 25 foot Grady White "The 3 Buoys," Ben is always on the water during fishing season
