    Father and Son Vacation 2024

    Half Day Trip – Nearshore (AM) on June 2, 2024Β β€’Β 4 adultsΒ β€’Β 2 children

    This trip was awesome! Captain Cody adapted to the windy weather and made a trip that was memorable for everyone involved! We caught like 7 different species of fish and my 6 yr. old son and 8 yr. old nephew had bait on the line at all times. We were impressed and I would recommend booking a trip with Cody to anyone! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and worked well with kids!

    My father, father-in-law, my wife, and I went fishing together. It was the first time for the three of them to fish. The captain took us to several spots, and we caught fish at every one of them. We are grateful for the captain's expertise, and we'll definitely come back again if we have the chance.

    Dad took us fishing

    Half Day Trip – Backwater (AM) on June 7, 2023Β β€’Β 4 adults

    Took my 2 daughters and my 76 yo mother out with Captain Cody and he was awesome. The bite was on right away, with several nice red fish and a torpon. When the fishing tailed off we went after shark and landed a 6 footer and lost another after a good fight. Went back after the reds and hooked up a few more times. With 3 ladies on board all rookies they had a great time. Captain Cody knows his stuff.

    We went out with Captain Cody on our honeymoon!!! He was super nice, informative, and helpful. He has a lot of patience and tried what he could to help us catch some fish. Even if it meant moving along the edges. I would definitely go again!! Thank you Captain Cody for all you did for us.

    Half Day with Top Hook Charter

    Half Day Trip – Backwater (AM) on June 24, 2020Β β€’Β 4 adults

    This was our first fishing charter trip. We took our son and his friend - both fourteen on The Top Hook Charter with Captain Cody Baker. He did an amazing job. We were catching fish while others close by were not. We even began catching black fin sharks - very cool! We highly recommend Top Hook Charter and when we return next year we are surely going to rebook this trip.

    If you like hearing β€œFish On” , Capt Cody is the way to go. He knows the local waters and networks well with the other local guides . I’ve been out with him several times and always a great experience. Today hooked up with 2 big Tarpon, kings in the boat( and for lunch) , Cobia , jacks , big drum , other species to include shark .. great experience.
