September 14, 2026My two young sons (5 and 7), my father, and I went out with Ben and had a fantastic experience. He was great with my kids, who were out on the water for their first real trip, and got them on fish, helping them every step of the way. This trip was more about my kids having a blast, but being a long-time angler and having spent years on the water, I also had a great experience and could tell how passionate and skilled Ben was. We had such a great time we immediately booked another trip for a few weeks out. Thanks Ben! Keep up the great work! - Joe, Joe, Joey, and Tommy

July 3, 2026Ben and Gabe were amazing! We caught plenty of Stripers, including several measuring 43 inches or more. The crew was energetic, friendly, and made the trip a lot of fun. My boys had an incredible time. Thanks again!

June 26, 2026We went out on a rainy and windy day, but our captain was fantastic. He was kind, patient, and made the trip enjoyable despite the weather. Our persistence paid off, and we caught some fish while having a fun day on the water.

June 23, 2026The water was murky after the storms, and there were no baitfish around. Despite the poor conditions, Captain Ben worked hard to locate the fish, and I ended up catching around 30 Sea Bass and Porgies. None of the boats were finding Stripers that day, but we still had a successful trip. You cannot always land the biggest fish, but the good music, great conversation, and Ben’s effort made the day enjoyable. I will definitely fish with Captain Ben again next season.

June 18, 2026Captain Ben was outstanding and truly made our trip memorable. We started at an initial spot but were not getting any bites, so he quickly made the call to move us. That decision paid off immediately once we reached the rip tide areas near Martha’s Vineyard. We started seeing stripers right away. Captain Ben selected the right lures and clearly explained the technique, which made a big difference, especially for those of us who were less experienced. My sister, who is a novice, landed the first fish of the day, and it ended up being the biggest of the trip. At one point she heard him say “whoa,” and he stepped right in to coach her on when and how to reel, ultimately helping her bring it in. That level of guidance really stood out. From there, my son hooked into one and the action stayed consistent. What impressed me most was how Captain Ben stayed on the fish, adjusting position as needed. While other boats nearby were not catching much, we were consistently bringing fish in. That is a direct reflection of his experience, awareness of conditions, and ability to adapt in real time. In total, we caught six fish, five stripers and one bluefish. Captain Ben even mentioned he was surprised I was able to land the bluefish, since they often bite through the line. He could tell right away from the head shakes that it was something different and was just as excited as we were. Overall, it was an exciting and well-run trip, and Captain Ben made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a guided fishing trip, whether you are experienced or brand new to the sport.

May 23, 2026Great trip! Captain Ben put us on several Stripers within minutes of starting. The weather turned windy and choppy, but he moved us to calmer waters, where we caught Scup and beautiful Black Sea Bass. We filled the cooler and had an excellent day. His beautiful boat also handled the rough conditions incredibly well.

June 21, 2025Captain Ben is a true professional with top-notch equipment and a fantastic boat. Before the trip, he communicated clearly and knew I wanted to focus on striper. His 25’ Grady-White was impressive, and the moment we left the dock he was already scouting opportunities to put me on fish. The action started right away, and when the bite slowed, he quickly moved us to keep things going. I landed six big striper and missed a few more, and anytime there was an issue with gear, he had a fresh setup ready to go. His knowledge of the water and commitment to keeping you on fish is unmatched. On top of that, Captain Ben is personable, easy to talk to, and makes the trip genuinely enjoyable. I had an incredible time and already trust him for my next outing — next time, targeting even more species.

June 5, 2025⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Day with Captain Ben! If you want a true Cape Cod fishing experience, Captain Ben with In The Net Sportfishing is the one to book. His knowledge of the local waters is unmatched — he knew exactly where to go, what was biting, and had us reeling in fish within minutes of leaving the dock. Safety was always a priority, and he made sure everyone felt comfortable on board, including my son. He was patient, encouraging, and turned the trip into a memory our whole family will cherish. Unlike some charters that cut things short, we got every bit of our 4-hour trip, and every minute was packed with action. Captain Ben came fully prepared with plenty of rods, tackle, and strategies for different species, so we were always ready for whatever hit. By the end of the day, we had caught so many fish I needed to ice my wrist at home! 🎣 This was easily one of the best charters we’ve ever taken. If you’re visiting Cape Cod, don’t hesitate — book with Captain Ben and you’ll be glad you did.
