Member since October 2023 Little Torch Key, United States
Background
Meet Captain Ben Moloney, your guide for thrilling flats fishing in the beautiful Lower Florida Keys. Captain Ben's fishing journey began at just 13, side by side with his older brother, exploring the Keys' pristine waters. Little did he know that these early adventures would shape his entire life. In 2019, Captain Ben faced a tragic loss when his brother, and greatest fishing mentor, passed away. To honor his brother's legacy and continue their shared passion, Ben embarked on a mission that blended his love for the ocean with his dedication to his brother's memory. Before guiding anglers through the flats, Ben served his country as a Reconnaissance Marine for an impressive five years. During his military service, he honed skills like navigation, adaptability, and resilience. These traits would later serve him well as a fishing guide.
