"Capt. Todd Godwin is without a doubt the best fishing guide in S. Florida. With over 25 years' experience, he's a true professional. Whether fishing the back country or offshore in the Gulf, he'll put you on fish. Snook, tarpon, reds, permit, cobia, grouper - you'll catch them…"

"We did a morning half day trip in shore at the Ten Thousand Islands with Captain Todd. He was an excellent guide. We caught fish every time we stopped. Was very patient and answered all of our sons questions! His boat and equipment was in excellent condition. We had a lot of fun and could have easily stayed all day. We highly recommend Kickin Tail Charters!!"

"I had the pleasure of fishing with Todd again on a trip to Marco in November. We went way down to the south and fished in places where we didn't see another boat. The weather was beautiful and we began catching Gag Grouper in the backcountry. These fish are big and fight like crazy. Most people think that it can only be done in deep water offshore. We were in 6-10 feet mostly. We also caught quite a few snook, but none were big enough to keep(28-34 slot). As usual, the boat was clean as a pin and he was well prepared. Dinner was great for the rest of the trip and we even had enough to take some home."

"I recently fished the Gulf with a few friends. For the 5th year in a row, we hired Todd to be our guide. We all agreed that he is the best fishing guide in Marco Island. We caught a lot of fish, including red grouper, amberjack, cobia, and snook. We highly recommend using Todd as your captain/guide."

"I have fished with Captain Todd several times and have always found him to be a very professional guide, willing to go the extra mile to make a fishing trip interesting, productive and enjoyable. He is always willing to run to where the fish are. I look forward to fishing with him again in the future."

"Great day on the water fishing with my dad and my son. I've been guide fishing Marco Island for 20 years trying to land trophy tarpon. Never fished with cap Todd before. He quickly netted a well full of live baits and off we went. Lines in for 5 minutes when my son lands 60 lbs tarpon. 10 minutes later I get a 125 lbs king, only to be topped by my dad's 140 pounder. Two and a half hours fighting tarpon! Exhausted we headed to backwater where we completed our slams with snook and reds. Needless to say a 3 generation memory a lifetime made possible by captain Todd!"

"Once again Captain Todd delivered. On a recent trip to Marco I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Todd again. I was fishing with 3 friends and we each caught a Gulf Coast Slam (Tarpon, Snook, Redfish). Captain Todd does everything possible to provide an enjoyable fishing experience. I'll definitely call on him again!"

"Captain Todd was awesome he did very well with 7 year old fisherman that caught a lot of big reds and snook all day. He kept us on good fishing and we had a great time. When dad gets to fish too its a good day."

"While in Marco recently my family with children ranging in age from 3 to 19 years old decided to book a half-day "nature" cruise with Capt. Todd Godwin on his beautifully outfitted and fast (!) 32' boat. He took us to the gorgeous sand islands of Cape Romano where there was something for everyone to do, and we had a ball fishing, shelling and enjoying the wildlife sanctuary under his watchful eye and helpful expertise the entire time! If you come to Marco, make time to call Todd for an unforgettable experience of this type. He really knows the area all around, having grown up in these waters."
