He started fishing when he was a kid and has now become a professional fishing guide who has been running his own fishing charter company called Apex Fishing Guide Service for about six years now. He’s been an avid outdoorsman almost his entire life and develops no greater pleasure than sharing his passion with others. Throughout his years of fishing, he has developed expertise in various fishing techniques such as trolling, jigging, spinning, bottom fishing, and bowfishing.&nbsp; When taking guests out, he never fails to check the fishing reports first, to ensure that no time is wasted and that fish patterns are thoroughly checked prior to the trip. He works hard to put guests in the right spots and he'll even slide you over to one of his favorite honey holes where you can catch something cast after cast. He is an expert in catching Redfish, Flounder, Sea Trout &amp; Sheepshead and his customers love the fact that they are able to catch plenty of these species during the trip. If you want to go further, he’ll give you that reel “Deep Sea Fishing Corpus Christi” experience as you chase after Snapper, Black Drum, and other favorite offshore species that can put up a good fight! Indeed a Corpus Christi deep sea fishing charter with him will test your angling skills and put you at the edge of your seat. Other than the whole fishing experience, spending a day with him will allow you to discover his cool personality and style. From the beginning of the trip, he briefs his client and communicates everything clearly to make sure everyone is prepared for anything that could happen during the trip. He also loves sharing and exchanging stories about personal experiences and fishing knowledge. He tries to get to know his customers and their interests so he can get a grasp and get better ideas on what his teaching style should be.&nbsp;Captain Benjamin is not only an expert in fishing but he is also a great teacher, especially to the novices and young ones. He can hardly find any greater joy than taking a kid fishing or helping out a newbie who is just starting to learn the art of angling.&nbsp; He takes his guests on board his 23’ Shoalwater (Bay boat) powered by a 300HP Mercury engine and runs at a maximum cruising speed of 50 knots. The boat can comfortably take 6 people and the deck provides plenty of room as you ride from spot to spot, there's also dry storage, as well as the required safety equipment. Captain Benjamin proudly says that he is more at home on the Gulf Coast waterways than at his own kitchen table.
