What a trip. Benjamin made this amazing, and memorable. His warmth, patience, hospitality right off the back made us feel comfortable and safe.  We had a bit of bad weather to start, but he took us to shelter, where we could still fish. As soon as the weather cleared, he took us to about 7 different spots until we got to where the fish were biting.

So patient the whole time, but also highly educational and entertaining. We were out for almost 5 hours. We especially loved his sense of team-spirit, pulling out all the stops to make sure everyone in the group had the best shot of getting the full experience.

We ended up with 7 fish for 4 of us. Not only was the experience brilliant, he had the best recommendation for hook n cool - where to go and how to have them cooked. This was the highlight of our vacation to Gulf Shores.

I cannot overstate how brilliant our Captain Benjamin Knight was.
Hats off mate!

The weather was cold and rainy but, captain Ben got us on some fish! Being more experienced anglers, he worked tirelessly to keep us baited and our lines in the water. He was also very patient when we got snagged or got our lines crossed. He showed a high level of knowledge of the waters around Orange Beach and got us to the fish right from the beginning. We were into the fish on our first cast. We caught a variety of species and had a great time! Our family enjoyed meeting and Ben and would definitely fish with him again the next time we’re in town.

This is our second trip with Great Southern. I have used a number of different charters but from now on I will always look to Great Southern first. Both experiences we have had with them have been amazing. Captain Ben did a great job putting us on fish but most important to me was how he treated our family, including my 10 and 12 year old.  He was patient and even took time to show them unique things about the fish we caught.  At the end of the day these trips for me are about making memories with my family, not just catching fish. Captain Ben helped us make memories that will last a lifetime!

Captain was super nice and explained that no one was catching fish all around and that the storms were going to keep rolling in . He offered to cut the trip short and us just pay for bait and gas cause did t want us to feel like we were getting taken advantage of.  We were more than pleased with this decision cause fish were not biting and waves were terrible from all the storms. . I’ve been on several trips in the past with the same circumstances and no one has ever reduced the price of the trip or even offered . Our captain was great for giving us this option and shows his true character. Will definitely book with Ben again when in the area !

Captain Ben was great and very helpful with the 2 kiddos on the boat.  We knew going into the trip that conditions were not the best, but Captain Ben put us on the fish.  Although we were 0/5 on some big hook ups for red fish we ended up with a really nice speckled trout and all of us had a great time and memories to last a lifetime.  Cooked up the catch for dinner and it was delicious.  Thanks again!!!
