Tope is a slim and yet powerful shark species which is highly prized by anglers for its fighting power and the prestige of catching a shark species.
The Tope Fishing runs from the mid May until mid July and is suitable for all.
You will head out to sea in the morning and spend the day hunting for the biggest Tope you can find. We’ll help you land your fish, measure it, have a picture and put it back in the water.
We can catch Tope just a few hundred metres out to sea but if the weather allows we have prime spots for finding them. Placing the bait into deep fast-running gullies where small fish are likely to congregate to offer the best chance of us catching. Tackle needs to be strong, as even a small tope will put up a great fight, especially if it can use the strength of the tide to its advantage. A Tope will often run and need to be given line so we teach you to set the clutch and drag correctly prior to beginning to fish for this species. Landing these fish is a real challenge.
