Fishin magician makes the magic happen!
Half Day Trip on September 26, 20231 adult

Captain Eric was fantastic. Listened to how I wanted to spend the day and what I wanted to target and he put us on them. Started the day catching a couple of redfish for the chest and then headed out to the grouper spots. We managed to get a few undersized in the boat but we did hook into a few giants but they got us in the rocks before we could pull them free. Was an awesome day and will be booking again.

Thanks for booking with me, it was a pleasure meeting you and getting on some fish.

Full Day with Captain Eric
Full Day Trip on February 20, 20222 adults

We had a great day with Captain Eric! He put us on a variety of fish the whole day. We limited out on mangrove snapper and caught several sheepshead, lady fish, whiting, and channel cats. Captain Eric was very professional, knowledgeable, and had a great attitude. He gave us advice and pointers when we asked and we feel we ended the day as better fishermen because of it. I would charter a trip with Eric again and highly recommend anyone looking for a private charter to book a trip with him.

Eric Topole
Response from Captain

Thank you, I know you have many choices when it comes to booking a fishing trip and I appreciate you choosing me, I t was my pleasure to share some of my fishing knowledge with you. I hope to see you in the future for some more sea shanty songs and fishing.
