"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 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 like to go fishing in many places I vacation and the most important thing is finding someone who is an expert on the local area. Todd knows where the fish are. I can't imagine someone knowing more about the water, tides, conditions, and best places to catch fish in and around the Marco area. I went out twice with Todd and I caught all the fish I wanted to...and then some. I had lots of fun catching snook and I took home enough red fish and snapper to share with everyone. When I'm back in Marco, I'll use Todd again without hesitation."

"I got the great luck to fish with Capt Todd, we caught Snook, Snapper and I caught my first Goliath Grouper ! Fun Fun ! He was. Great to visit with and I enjoyed learning from him, Very good Capt ! Book a trip of a life time !!!"

"Capt. Todd is a must when on Marco. I have seen him work with novices and experts, I have fished backcountry and open water with him. He is very professional, enjoys fishing and like to create great memories. He has put me onto giant snook, tarpon, permit, grouper, even two sawfish! I have never been disappointed when fishing with Capt. Todd, and when done at the end of a day of fishing I begin planning to come back."

"Captain Todd took our family backwater fishing and we all caught tons of fish including, Reds, lots of Snook, ladyfish, catfish, jack and our 8 year old even hooked a tarpon!! We had a great time and Todd knew all the spots...We will never use anyone else again."
The Clarks
"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!"
Tony B
"We went out with Todd on a family boat outing and the individualized service was spectacular! He seemed like part of the family about halfway through the trip. It was my three year old son's first boat ride and Todd was so helpful with making sure he was comfortable, got to see exciting things, was happy, and safe. We explored a great island and while there he helped my young son get shells out of his shoes and even helped him fish. Needless to say, my little boy thought he was great, and of course the rest of us did too!"
JoAnna C
"Capt. Todd knows this area better than anyone I think, because we caught tons of fish at his "secret" spots. They must have been secret because no one else was fishing there and the fishing was awesome. The kids had a great time with him too."
Bill C
"I’ll make this review short and right to the point. If you want the best captain and fishing experience call Todd Godwin."“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt”
