Bumpy trip weather wise but the boat handled it really well. Capt and mate 1st class people and they worked hard to get us our Marlin. Went 1/2 on the day. I would highly recommend.
Philip thank you for fishing with us! Glad we got your white marlin! On a regular charter we would have looked for some meat to bring home, but we focus on what our group would like to catch when sf all possible.
Great captain, crew, and boat. Perfect weather 40+ miles off the Virginia coast. Caught the limit. Plan on making it an annual event 👍
Wish we would have got into some Tuna but Russ and Bobby kept us in the fish and made sure we still had a great day. cought several dolphin, sea bass and tile. one of which was a citation! We will definitely book with Top Notch again!
Caught 2 Marlin, limit of tilefish, and 20+ mahi. incredible memory for my son and nephew. Captain and mate were absolutey fantastic and the boat is immaculate.
Took a inshore/nearshore trip with my son, 8 years old, with my buddy and his son, also 8 years old. We didn’t have lines in the water for 5 minutes and we were into the fish. The kids kept a total of 28 fish ( mixed species) and probably threw back just as many. We caught Spanish mackerel, blues, and 4 hound fish. These guys were amazing with the kids. I can’t recommend them enough. Already planning an all day tuna trip this fall. Highly recommend. I’m gunna end it there because I can’t say enough good about these guys
