Fishing aboard Topless
June 13, 2004

Recently I was invited to go tuna fishing as a guest on the
Charterboat Topless out of Greenbackville, Virginia.
We arrived before dawn and the the captain got us headed to sea
in short order. The first hint of color in sky was the beginning what was
to be a great day of fishing.

We
fished in 100 fathoms just below Washington Canyon. It was not long before
Captain Perry found the fish and put my fishing partner on a nice yellowfin,
his first tuna.

My wife boated a colorful yellowfin.

After a few smaller fish came on, the senior angler on board got into a nice
yellowfin and boated it in short order.

Another lucky angler stepped up to get a nice dolphin.

I even caught a fish on this trip!
We had a very productive trip, finishing the day with 6 yellowfin tuna and one
dolphinfish.
The captain is very knowledgeable and courteous. The equipment is
state of the art and the boat is one of the most seaworthy available. Topless is
certainly the premier charterboat that sails out of Chincoteague.
The Topless website is
