About Your Trip

We will typically launch the boat right around sunrise to go redfishing. We will be on my custom built flats boat, poling marshes and grass flats looking to sight cast to tailing redfish.

We target bull and slot redfish, black drum, speckled trout, tripletail, jack crevalle, and tarpon depending on the season. Both fly and spinning rods are effective methods to catch these species and both methods are welcomed. Anglers of all experience levels are welcome aboard my boat and I will do my best to put anyone on fish. We are based out of Mobile, AL and mainly fish the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Mobile Bay, the Mississippi Sound, and the Biloxi Marsh but regularly trailer the boat to other areas. All licenses, fishing tackle, lunch, and bottled water are provided on trips.

About Your Guide

Ben C.

Independent Guide

Come experience the crystal-clear waters of Mobile Bay and the Mississippi Sound with Captain Ben, a dedicated fly fishing guide based in Mobile, AL. Specializing in sight fishing for Redfish, Ben brings expert knowledge of the local flats and marshes, giving anglers the best possible shot at tailing fish in shallow water. Depending on the season, you may also have the chance to target species like Tripletail and Jacks.

You’ll be casting from Captain Ben’s custom-built 17’ Tensaw Flats Skiff—a sleek, shallow-draft boat he designed and built himself to navigate these waters with precision. Poling silently across skinny water, Ben will work hard to put you in position for the perfect cast. The skiff is ideal for one or two anglers looking for a technical, rewarding day on the water.

While experienced fly anglers will feel right at home, all skill levels are welcome. Whether it’s your first Redfish on the fly or your fiftieth, Captain Ben’s laid-back style, deep local knowledge, and handcrafted skiff make for a one-of-a-kind experience on the Gulf Coast.
