My wife and I enjoy fishing and this was my first time fishing in saltwater. I felt like I stepped into one of those great Caribbean fishing shows that we Northerners watch – torturing ourselves through the winter. The Gulf was like glass as we shoved off and Captain Ted’s (CT’s) boat seemed more like a café racer (motorcycle) than... More

This was our second year of Tarpon fishing with Captain Ted Benbow. We had three excellent nights of noting other than world class fishing. My wife released a 130Lb Tarpon, and I followed up with a beautiful 70 pounder at sunset. Capt. Ted went out of his way to further our Key's fishing experience by squeezing in some back water...

My daughter and I had a great fishing experience during the height of Islamorada's tarpon season with Skins and Fins' Captain Donnie Benbow. On a beautiful April afternoon he knowledgeably led us to the tarpon, patiently got them to eat, then skillfully guided the boat and me through the adrenaline-charged experience of reeling in an 80+lbs tarpon.

Two, he is clearly an expert captain and fisherman. Three, he was outstanding with both Samantha, 6, (first time fishing on a boat and Ted showed her how... More

I've gone out with Capt. Ted a few times. He knew right where the fish would be depending on the tides and time of day, and got me hooked up on several nice fish. Every time I come to the Keys, I book him for atleast a half day and I've never been disappointed! More

My husband and son book at least one trip with Skins and Fins each year. My husband is a long-time fisherman and my 11 year old son has just learned in the last few years. They absolutely love fishing with Ted Benbow! More

I booked Captain Ted this summer to catch my first tarpon and me and my dad caught good sized fish. My dads was about 140 pounds! I had a great trip and will book him again this season. More
