Captain Ben

Captain Ben

Captain Ben grew up in the little fishing town of McClellanville, SC about 30 miles up the coast from Charleston. With a population of about 350, everyone knew everyone and things were good. He comes from a family that is very interconnected with fishing and boating and basically had no choice but to choose an occupation that would keep him on the water. His love for fishing started at an early age but things began to speed up once he realized that there was a difference between a cane pole and a fly rod.

Captain Ben has been fishing the waters between McClellanville and Isle of Palms religiously since he was about eight years old. Much of what he knows about these waters was taught to him by his family. His father, stepfather, three uncles, grandfather and grandmother, and many close family friends have chosen to make a living from the lowcountry waters at some point in their lives. He would like to think that a little bit of each of their lessons and adventures will be passed on and shared in every one of his charters.
