More than we expected!!

Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults1 child

Our hopes for this charter were to get the chance to reel in a huge fish and to fill the freezer back home, and well, we got more than we hoped for to say the least! The boat was spacious, clean, and safe for our 10 year old son to come along. Captain Benny started us off in a great spot where we were catching fish as soon as we dropped our lines in the water. Maybe that was a warm up because after that he took us to a different spot where we had the experience of a lifetime! Captain Benny worked hard to put us right on top of giant Red Drum where our entire family easily tagged out! Well, I say easy but trust me, pulling in a fish that big was not easy!! Luckily Captain Benny was right there for anything we needed. We were so grateful to be with a guide who made it his mission to give us the experience we were looking for and on top of that he clearly knew all the best spots, had a great attitude, was patient and straight forward with us, and was a pleasure to be around. Thank you for the trip Captain Benny. We will be seeing you again!

    Big Reds & Big Fun!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    What a blast! We may not have limited out, but thats fishing. He put us on a school of monster bull redfish & catching them more than made up for it. Benny was knowledgeable, professional, & he worked nonstop to give us the best opportunity to catch fish. Other guides were even following him around trying to get in on the action, which says a lot. Highly recommend!

    Response from Captain

    thank you so much for the kind words. It was a pleasure being out on the boat with you guys. Hope to see you soon.

    Best fishing trip I’ve ever been on

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    This was one of the best fishing experiences I have every been on. First time in POC area and don’t regret it at all. Could not have pick a better Captain for the job he has extensive knowledge of the area and we caught fish all day. Great boat for a family trip or just a guys trip. We had music all day and great company thank you again for a much needed fishing trip Benny. We will be fishing with him again soon high 5 star rating.
