Ben also began to do his own DIY projects on his personal boats. He started off with simple tasks, such as replacing pumps and switches, and then ventured into more and more complicated projects including everything from fiber glass repair to a full rewire. Ben is also a very accomplished diver with many dives under his belt. So, come see Ben with any questions from inshore fishing techniques to fixing electrical gremlins!

They mainly fished at the Redington Long Pier (right across the street from the original Dogfish Tackle Co!) He grew up primarily fishing for kingfish and tarpon, but as he got older, he learned everything about everything our fishery has to offer. From wade fishing, kayak fishing, offshore fishing, to freshwater bass fishing, Kris knows about it all. He is constantly on the water furthering his knowledge and experience to help educate our customers about all things fishing! Danny Gibbs Danny began fishing as a kid for snook, tarpon, and redfish along the local seawalls and at Weedon Island. When he could get in some offshore fishing, he would target gag groupers and snapper. As he grew, he began to use the pier and beaches as his main focus to hunt big snook and table fare. Now, that focus has progressed to include running bridges, islands, passes, and any area with great water flow by skiff or by land. He is an experienced and diverse fisherman with lots of knowledge to share, and we welcome him to our team!
