    He Tried to Warn Us

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    The weather was not great when we went out. Capt. Ben tried to warn us ahead of time, but we went ahead and went out because we were only in town for that day. He tried hard to make the most of the trip, but there was only so much he could control. He is a great guy and very personable. I imagine on another day, our experience would have been awesome. If we're in town again, we will definitely look him up.

    Friendly knowledgeable and helpful fishing guide

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Benjamin can put you on the fish although we only had a few fish to bring home. I blame that on the rules and size for the fish. A great guide very helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend Ben and will use him again when I’m back in Connecticut.
