We have gone on a few trips with Ben this past year with different family members.  He is very interactive and encouraging with both experienced and novice fishermen.  He knows the waters well and can answer most any question he is asked.  Ben comes prepared for each trip and knows what areas have had the best fishing at any given time.  We will continue to enjoy fishing with him.

Definitely a highly recommended trip with a solid guide that treats you like family. I've been fortunate in my life and have had the opportunity to charter fish not only in the States, but also internationally. Captain Kris is world class. He's an amazing person and a knowledgeable angler. It rained the day prior to our trip so river conditions weren't ideal, but we still had an incredible time and enjoyed our day. In my mind, the experience is worth far more than the hookup and Captain Kris delivered a remarkable experience and great conversation. We ended up with a few in the boat--more than I was expecting given the conditions which in itself is a testament to his skill--but greater than this, we received a solid education on the fishery and proven tactics that were shared freely and earned from a man who's spent a lifetime on the water. The best part of the package was that despite having just met him, it was like fishing with an old friend. Honestly, I'd fish with him anytime.

Not much caught, but what we did, oh boy! 52” red drum which Capt Mike said was worth a citation for which he is going to put in the paperwork. Capt was friendly and patient with the kids and tried hard to put us on the fish. Boat was clean and maintained well. Will fish again.
