Capt. Eric is very knowledgeable and informative. He suggested an afternoon trip to match the best tides, and we were on sea trout in no time. Wrapped up the day with a great hook and cook at Hooks Grill. Thanks for an excellent day on the water.

Eric isn’t called the fishin magician for nothing! Eric did a great job and put us on the fish every spot we went to. If you are wanting to go out and have a great time and catch fish then Captain Eric is your man. Highly recommend and will definitely be back on the water very soon with the best captain in the Bay Area.

Captain Eric was fantastic. Listened to how I wanted to spend the day and what I wanted to target and he put us on them. Started the day catching a couple of redfish for the chest and then headed out to the grouper spots. We managed to get a few undersized in the boat but we did hook into a few giants but they got us in the rocks before we could pull them free. Was an awesome day and will be booking again.

We had an amazing time out on the water with Captain Eric Topole. He really knows his stuff, was super attentive, and had us reeling in fish all day long. We used a mix of bait and ended up with a couple of nice groupers. Can't wait to go out with Captain Eric again in the future!

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! 😎

Best guide out there!!! I have been out with Eric four or five times and still haven’t been skunked, even when the conditions weren’t in our favor. Eric is very knowledgeable and will pull out every trick he knows to put you on fish. I highly recommend him for your next fishing adventure.
