If fishing is something that is always on your mind, give Tops Charters a call and we will definitely help you scratch that itch.

Capt. Richard runs a 20' Express center console with space for 3 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures and live bait. 

There's no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, a hat, bug spay (preferably non-aerosol), sunblock (non-spray), and drinks (no glass). Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed but in moderation, please avoid bringing hard liquor.

Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen with Tops Charters!
