The Trip, The Boat, The Captain

Everything you need to know before heading out on the water and catching fish like a pro.

About the Trip

Your Full-Day Fishing Charter in Jacksonville, Florida

At Magnum Fishing Co., we do things differently. There’s one type of trip, one price ($499), and one promise: you fish until you are happy. We start at sunrise and stay out as long as the fish are biting and you’re having the time of your life. Whether it’s a few hours or all day, the day is yours.

We also honor those who serve with a 10% discount for active military, veterans, law enforcement, and first responders.

What Makes the Trip Special:

  • Flexible all-day charter: You decide when the trip ends — fish as long as you want.

  • Personalized attention: Maximum of 2 passengers ensures a 1-on-1 or 2-person experience for optimal fishing.

  • Variety of fishing techniques: We use spinning gear with artificial lures, live bait, and fly fishing.

  • Catch-and-release friendly: Keep legal-size fish if you want to take them home; we follow all Florida fishing regulations.

How It Works:

  • Meet Capt. Ben at the boat ramp closest to the best fishing spots of the day.

  • Explore Jacksonville’s rich inshore waters, targeting redfish, trout, flounder, black drum, and more.

  • Fish all ways — as long as it gets the catch in the boat, we’ll make it happen.

Booking:

  • To schedule your trip, call or text Capt. Ben. He’ll coordinate meeting location, departure times, and party size for a smooth, stress-free day on the water.

About the Captain

Capt. Ben — Lifelong Fisherman, Tournament Veteran, Jacksonville Expert

Fishing has been part of Capt. Ben’s life since he was a child. From early mornings on local lakes to chasing big game offshore, the thrill of the catch and the peace of being on the water have always been central to who he is.

Ben spent years building an offshore fishing career in the Northeast U.S., competing in some of the world’s largest tournaments, targeting tuna, marlin, and swordfish. Along the way, he mastered every fishing style — spinning, live bait, artificial lures, and fly fishing — and honed the skill to bring fish in under any conditions.

After years of competitive offshore fishing, Ben found his home in Jacksonville, Florida. The vast marshlands, scenic rivers, and diverse inshore waters offered a new challenge and endless opportunity for game fish like redfish, trout, flounder, and black drum. Jacksonville’s waters perfectly blend abundance, beauty, and accessibility, making it ideal for every angler.

Ben’s goal is simple: share his knowledge, skill, and passion to create fishing experiences that are fun, productive, and unforgettable. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced angler, Capt. Ben ensures a day on the water you will remember for a lifetime.
