Ross Fishing Guide Service offers freshwater fishing experiences from the South Carolina Lakelands to the Appalachian mountains, led by Captain Benji Ross out of Abbeville. Guests affectionately call Benji the “Fish Whisperer,” and the business has been featured on Bob Redfern’s Outdoor Magazine for its trophy striper catches.
The business specializes in striped bass and crappie fishing on Clarks Hill, Lake Greenwood, and Lake Russell, along with mountain trout fishing trips into the Smokies and Blue Ridge Mountains. No two trips are the same, and every booking comes backed by a satisfaction guarantee: if guests aren’t happy, neither is Captain Benji.
Inland lake trips (targeting Crappie, Stripers, and Hybrids) run as half-day trips with a 5-hour maximum, priced at $425 for 1-2 anglers, $475 for 3, or $525 for 4, with each additional angler at $100. Bait and tackle are included in every trip, with fish cleaning available for an extra charge. Mountain river trout trips in SC and NC are also available; call for pricing on those.
Guest reviews consistently describe an unforgettable, fun-filled experience, with repeat clients specifically praising Benji’s genuine enthusiasm for putting guests on fish and the lasting memories and fellowship built along the way.
For anglers looking to fish for striped bass, crappie, or trout across South Carolina’s lakes and mountain rivers, Ross Fishing Guide Service offers a well-reviewed, guarantee-backed operation with Captain Benji Ross out of Abbeville.
