Captain Ben was great!  Great communication leading up to our trip as we had to adjust around stormy weather. He was ready for us on time and had everything as promised (including waters for us in the cooler, on the boat). Boat and all gear was in excellent condition - clean and good working order. We had “sporty” conditions to start but we felt safe and in good hands and he was checking with to make sure everything was within our tolerance level.  Ben put us on some fish - we hooked a couple flounder, ladyfish, alligator gar, speckled trout, stingray, & and several reds! I would highly recommend Red Tail Charter if seeking a good inshore fishing experience from a skiff.

If you enjoy the hunt for tailing Reds, then Captain Ben is the guy.  He put us on redfish constantly in waters less than a foot or so deep.  He has the ideal boat (skiff) for this type of fishing up in the rivers and channels off of Charleston Harbor.  With a 60 HP motor, a lot of water can be covered.  And then using a 20 ft pole, he maneuvers around the shallow grass flats with ease.  There is nothing like spotting the fins and tails of these redfish and then casting right to them in the shallow waters.  Captain Ben can spot them with ease from on top of his poling stand and put you right on them.  If you like this type of fishing, you can definitely learn a lot from him.  I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

My husband LOVES fishing…pretty much will fish anywhere, anytime for all types of fish. He does his research and we have gone on some amazing guided fishing trips in various waters. We were going to Charleston, SC for a work conference and planned to go a day early so we could incorporate a little fishing. Trent found RedTail Charters of Mount Pleasant with Captain Ben and booked the trip. We had it scheduled for a morning trip but Ben said it looked like the afternoon was going to be perfect weather. And he was right! It was a beautiful fall day with minimal winds (for the most of it). We caught some red fish, blue fish, trout, and I caught my first lizard fish! I have never seen one of those. But that wasn’t what we were fishing for…Trent wanted to catch some good reds and do some site-fishing—and Ben didn’t disappoint! Too bad we didn’t get to enjoy them for dinner but it was so fun to catch! This was one of my favorite guided fishing trips and Ben was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and had a clean boat! HIGHLY recommend you book your fishing trip with Ben at RedTail Charters. We will definitely be returning and booking him again!

Capt. Ben is friendly and welcoming. We faced windy conditions but he knew just the adjustments to make to the plan to give us the opportunity to still be successful. His knowledge of the fish and the river are top notch. We caught many big fish and had an incredible time.

My daughter and I did a 6hr. trip and it was absolutely terrific. I was very impressed with Bens knowledge of the area and gishing holes. Also he made sure my daughter caught fish and even prioritized her when it was needed to make sure she had a good time. So fun. we caught Redfish and trout both with spinning rods and fly rods.
