Following his passion, Captain Ben jumped at the opportunity to learn from the ground up about this industry, fishing and mentoring with some of the finest fishermen the MS Gulf Coast has offered over decades. He has fished from Louisiana to Florida across the Gulf Coast, taking in aspects of other fisheries to understand better how each fishery differs and what makes our fishery along the Mississippi Gulf Coast unique. Not only has he developed tactics unique to his own style, but he also had tactics and strategies shared with many successful captains he has worked with over 15 years. For over a decade now, he has also understood the patterns and behaviors of the many different species available off the Mississippi Gulf Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico by following available science and being on the water to witness how these fish react to different conditions and seasons. This combination of knowledge shared by renowned captains and developed through trial and error and practical experience from a young age enables our guests to have a genuinely informed, successful, and memorable experience.
