Born and raised in Montauk, New York, Ben started working on boats at the age of 12 and never looked back. He fished from Montauk's rocky shores as a hard core surfcaster before getting his captains license and moving on to the easier world of boat fishing. Today he's comfortable in every fishery Montauk has to offer. Anything from a short day trip to a canyon overnighter, the Push the Limit crew works hard to keep you happy.

    Awesome Trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (PM) • 6 adults

    we had a great time with captain Ben. we had pretty consistent action for the whole afternoon trip, catching 9 striped bass all over 40 inches. he worked hard to get us in the right spot to get bites, and was a good hang in the ride back and forth to the fishing spot

    Reported catch:
    Striped Bass

    Managed to get a smaller bluefin around 50 pounds and a 105 pound beauty of a yellowfin. Most importantly, Ben is absolutely amazing as a captain and was committed to making this what turned out to be a fantastic, beyond memorable experience. If you are looking for a crew that’s friendly, down to earth, and knowledgeable with where the fish are at, then look no further!

    Captain Ben was professional and courteous! He worked diligently to navigate to successful drifts and gave us countless opportunities to reel in our catch! His passion for fishing shows! We caught Striped Bass, Porgy and Bluefish. When we visit Montauk again, he’s the captain we’re going to call!

    Good morning Ben, The fishing trip was nice. It was a new experience for us. Although my daughter and I weren't able to participate with the fishing ( due to sea sickness), we still enjoyed the outing. Thanks for helping my Lloyd reel in his fishes, to bad we we're able to keep them. We had a fun Father’s Day outing. Sonia

What's biting with Push The Limit Sportfishing in Montauk

By November, the offshore pelagics have generally moved on, with the action now staying steadily closer to home. Make the most of the open season for Blackfish (Tautog) and keep chasing those Stripers!
