Ben’s Bass Excursions

"I highly recommend Ben as a tour guide. Me as a beginner fisherman I had a lot of questions and Ben had all the answers. He is very easy to get along with and I felt very welcomed on his boat. He is a very good teacher and explains everything well. I will definitely be coming back to see him on my next trip to Arlington."

"Ben was an amazing guide. He's a gold standard type of guy. A whole ensemble of higher end rods and reels for any type of fisherman. Boat was super well kept clean and organized. He will move heaven and earth to get fish in the boat all with a smile on his face. If I could do more stars I would!!! Thanks Ben!! We will see you soon! From Mason & Jess"

"Had a great time fishing with Ben today. He did a good job keeping us on the bass even with a tough finicky bite. We did well for the conditions, but the best part of the trip was how cool of a guy Ben is. I just met Ben the morning of the trip, but it felt like I was fishing with a buddy I had known for over 20 years. Thanks again Ben and I'm looking forward to the next trip, had a blast bud!"

"This review is long overdue. I had the pleasure of fishing with Ben in late November 2019. I was able to parlay a business trip into an extended weekend and having never been to Texas decided to scratch Texas Largemouth fishing off my bucket-list. Setting up my outing was very easy. Ben was very responsive and even though I was setting things up close to my trip he was able to accommodate me. There was some nasty weather forecast so since I had the whole weekend available we decided to play it by ear and make the call to fish the day before. We fished Joe Pool Lake and left the boat dock at sunrise, it was a chilly 33 degrees that morning! We hit some of Ben's favorite spots and it wasnt long before I got the first fish in the boat. I didnt catch any huge fish that day, but I did catch numbers. Long story short we were laughing so much and having such a great time I decided to extend my half-day charter to a full day (thank you Ben for accommodating!) We fished well past sunset as Ben was determined to get me a big bass... alas it wasnt meant to be. Ben has a clean bass-boat in great condition, well organized tackle and higher-end rods and reels. He was very gracious in getting me re-rigged, and unsnagging me while handing me a new rod to use in the meantime. He was able to accommodate my rod/reel preferences as well (spinning, bait-casting, etc.) We fished exclusively artificial lures my trip and he was open me to bringing my own gear also. I am planning on taking my teenage son down to fish some Texas bass and will definitely be seeing Ben's guide services when I do. Thanks Ben!"

"If you get a chance, go out with Ben. He is a great host! On one of our outings we caught 28 Bass in one day. We only kept 10 as allowed. Don’t hesitate Ben is the best guide out there! Have fun and book today! Merle"
