Ben Blackmon

Captain Ben Blackmon is the heart and expertise behind Captain Ben’s Charters on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Born and raised along these waters, Ben grew up fishing the bays, marshes, and offshore reefs that make the Gulf a world-class angling destination. Over the years, he has built a deep understanding of local fishing patterns, seasonal changes, and the behavior of the region’s most popular species. His lifelong connection to the coast gives guests confidence that they’re fishing with someone who knows these waters inside and out. Ben’s guiding style is rooted in patience, knowledge, and a genuine passion for helping others enjoy the sport. He works with anglers of all experience levels—sharing effective techniques for targeting redfish, speckled trout, snapper, and more. First-timers appreciate his clear, encouraging instruction, while seasoned anglers benefit from his strategic approach to reading the water and adjusting for conditions. Every trip is an opportunity for guests to learn something new while feeling supported and at ease on the water. Fishing with Captain Ben is about more than just catching fish—it’s about experiencing the culture and environment of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. He takes pride in fostering a welcoming, friendly atmosphere where stories are shared, skills are built, and respect for the marine ecosystem is encouraged. Ben is a strong advocate for sustainable fishing practices, ensuring the Gulf’s resources remain abundant for future generations. His trips often include insights into the area’s wildlife, tides, and habitat, making the day as educational as it is enjoyable.
