Half Day Trip

What can I say…best trip ever. Cap. Eric knows his stuff and was more than accommodating! Pick up point was easy to find with plenty of free parking, caught some terrific fish and I appreciated him baiting my hook each and every time. Boat was clean and well organized. Cap. Eric is courteous, friendly and has a great sense of humor. No doubt, hubby and I will be back! 😎

We had a good day on the water with captain Eric Topole. He was very knowledgeable, attenative and had us catching fish all day. We used a variety of bait and ended the day with a couple of nice groupers. Will be going out with captain Eric in the future

I’ve done a lot of fishing up in the Pacific Northwest, but the action was nothing like this. Captain Eric put us on fish after fish after fish, and he did not disappoint. The last fish was the largest fish caught in the day. That is a great fishing trip, I will be back in June for grouper. Can’t wait!
