About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Ben and prepare for an action-packed day of fishing the intercoastal and nearshore waters around Tarpon Springs!!

On these 6 to 8 hour trips with Captain Ben, you will bust it out to the nearshore waters where you can target Cobia, Mackerel, and Triple Tail and Tarpon when they are around. Captain Ben has been catching these prized fish off the Florida Gulf Coast for years, and he is sure to put you where the fish are biting.

To attract these picture-worthy fish you'll be a range of light to heavy tackle, mostly using live bait or throwing the occasional artificial lure. Captain Ben is happy to demonstrate proper fundamentals for any of these techniques.

Captain Ben fishes aboard a 23' Sea Chaser equipped with a live well, a T-top for shade, and cushioned seats that provide plenty of space to lounge around while you're waiting for the fish to bite. But just when you get seated comfortably you can bet your bottom dollar that rod'll start whirring and you be back up fighting another fish to the boat!

Captain Ben will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. All you need is a valid Florida fishing license as well as any food or drinks you might need. Come aboard and catch some fish
