Awesome days fishing!!!
Recently spent 3 nights in Homer as part of our honeymoon. We booked an ultimate combo Halibut/Lingcod with Capt Ben on the boat Fringe Benefit. It was AWESOME!! Only 6 people on the boat so plenty of room to fish. Caught some nice size Ling cod, Plenty of Black Rockfish, and got a good size Halibut each. My new wife even managed a Coho Salmon. Capt Ben was great. He put us on the fish , stayed out longer than planned to try get everyone a Halibut and even stopped on the way in when he spotted a pod of Orcas surface in front of the boat to let us view them from the back deck. Best charter I've been on.

Captain Ben is Awesome!
Great experience halibut and king salmon fishing with Captain Ben. He was patient with the less experienced fishermen and helped everyone had a great time! I would highly recommend Captain Ben and North Country Charters!

Second year in a row fishing with Captain Ben and equally impressed both years. Ben is passionate about fishing and it shows. He is glad to share his extensive knowledge of all things fishing and Alaska in general. He always works hard to get you on good fishing making sure to highlight the great sightseeing along the way.

I fish all over the country and even run my own boat for personal use. Captain Ben is the best captain I’ve fished with. I plan to fish with him again. He did a great job and is a real pleasure to fish with.

This was a very successful fishing trip. I went with Captain Ben on the Fringe Benefit. He is very knowledgeable and went the extra mile to be sure we all caught our limit of Halibut. To find a captain like Ben is a rare thing today. He did everything possible to make the trip a great one. I highly recommend him.
