2nd trip with Top Dog. Captain and crew were great! Nice chill trip. Tried a few options for catching different fish. Caught a nice Cobia for dinner. Would recommend for families. Nice air conditioned area for taking a break from the sun. Bring water/drinks, sunscreen and snacks. Captain fillets your fish at the end!
Captain Neil and mate Caleb were very gracious and the boat is truly wonderful with a nice air conditioned cabin when you need to get out of the sun. That was helpful since we only caught one large cobia during our 4 hour trip. Not the captain’s fault but I should have asked if the kids could do some casting to keep them interested. We spent most of the trip trolling but nothing was biting that day. Still a beautiful day on the water.
Captain Neil had us on the fish minutes after leaving the dock. Caught multiple Cobia that were released, but we brought home a 52”, 40 pounder that put up a great fight. The 1st Mate was attentive, explained the fishing process, and took care of everything! Book your next fishing experience with Top Dog!! You won’t be disappointed.
Captain Neil and Caleb were great. They were knowledgeable and got us on some good fish early on and were consistent throughout the trip. Great job Gents.
