Eric Topole

Meet Captain Eric Topole

Meet Captain Eric Topole and Fishin Magician Inshore

With more than 40 years of experience on the water, Captain Eric Topole brings a lifetime of fishing knowledge to every trip. He’s been fishing the west coast of Florida since 1979, a journey that began alongside his grandfather and quickly became a lifelong passion. Captain Eric’s deep-rooted love for the sport isn’t just evident in the way he talks about fishing—it’s something guests can feel the moment they step on the boat. He’s not just guiding you to the fish; he’s sharing a way of life built on tradition, patience, and respect for the water.


Captain Eric is known for his methodical, thoughtful approach to fishing. He’s spent decades learning how to read the bay—tracking tides, watching currents, and understanding how fish move and feed. His ability to break down the why behind each catch turns every trip into a learning experience. Whether you're chasing redfish, snook, or sea trout, he’s always one step ahead of the bite, making each day on the water both productive and educational.


What sets Captain Eric apart is his genuine connection with the local ecosystem and the people he fishes with. Guests of all ages appreciate his calm, friendly presence and clear passion for teaching others. Whether it’s your first cast or your hundredth, Eric creates an atmosphere that feels welcoming, informative, and relaxed. You’re not just along for the ride—you’re learning from someone who’s spent a lifetime mastering these waters.
