"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!!"

"Todd is a great captain knows where he is going and we caught lots of fish one if the best guides in the area. In addition to lots of tripletail, grouper, redfish, snook and snapper we caugh a five foot lemon shark and a tarpon!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I have been fishing with Capt Todd off and on for over six years. He has yet to disappoint on any trip. The consummate professional guide. He knows where to go, when to go, and what to do to catch fish once there, inshore or offshore. Extremely likable, boundless energy, and definitely patient with a bunch of old guys like us. The best guide in southwest Florida if not all of Florida."

Herber H

"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."

Tom Meade

"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 !!!"

Dave G

"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

"Not only is Todd extremely knowledgeable and professional, he is patient as well. He was great with my son. It was obvious that he wanted us to catch fish as much as we did. Looking forward to the next trip!!!"
