GO FISHING WITH CAPTAIN BEN

I’ve learned that there is no other fishery like what we have here in the northeast. Fishing the waters from Riverhead to Orient to Montauk and everything in between targeting striped bass, bluefish, and false albacore on light tackle and fly. The ultimate experience is sight casting to cruising striped bass in only a few feet of crystal clear water.

 

As a United States Coast Guard Masters Captain, I have experienced the waters from Peconic Bay to the Atlantic Ocean and beyond. Growing up fishing on Long Island’s North Fork has not only taught me the best fishing locations but I have cruised, delivered, and captained yachts along the entire east coast.

All of my life I've had a strong passion for fishing and have spent thousands of hours on the water fishing in many different locations.

  • If you are looking for light-tackle and/or spot fly-fishing on the Eastern End of Long Island, go nowhere else! Ben is a great Captain: knowledgeable, instructive, knows all the Honey Pots and puts you on the fish. I have been out with him a bunch over the last 3 years and have never once been disappointed. Looking forward to our next trip, Spot Fly Fishing the Flats for Striped Bass!

  • I went fishing with Ben four times last year. He is a great guide with a pleasant personality, and he really knows the secret fishing spots in this area. His knowledge of the local waters has produced good fishing day for us each time. I highly recommend his service.

  • We had a fantastic trip with Capt. Ben. He was great with our Grandkids…very personable. We caught all the fish we wanted…he knows exactly where to fish. We started catching fish as soon as we put our lines in the water. He had all the equipment and filleted our fish. It was the perfect fishing outing.

  • I've been out on the water with Ben each of the past three years. We've gone out with my nephew beginning when he was 9 years old. Ben has always been patient and extremely willing to share his knowledge and experience. I highly recommend Ben for anyone looking to catch some fish in local waters and learn a ton! I'm always looking forward to my next trip out with Ben!

  • We had a great experience with Ben. Fantastic fishing and he even fileted the fish for us and told us where to take it to have it cooked. My 2 young kids took to Ben very quickly and he was great working with them. Highly recommend this company!

  • I took my kids and nephew for their first fishing trip ever…and Capt. Ben was the best. He was so personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. He made the trip fun and we caught a ton of fish. And at his recommendation, after he cleaned our fish, we took the fish we caught next door and Case’s Place. They cooked them for us, we ate lunch, and it was the perfect ending to a wonderful day. When I asked my kids what their favorite part of our week spent out East was, they say it was our fishing trip. Many thanks to Capt. Ben…and we’ll see you again soon!

  • Ben is an outstanding captain. We had a fabulous fishing trip today and caught so many fish! We took our 6 yr old son who has special needs for his first fishing trip and Ben couldn’t have been more child friendly and kind. We had a better time than we imagined we would and will definitely go fishing with Capt. Ben again!!
