  • "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

  • "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 heard about Capt Todd from a friend. 2 of my friends and I met him at the marina and were amazed by his beautiful, spots less boat. He was very friendly and took us a pretty good way through the beautiful ten thousand islands. we arrived a a long bank covered with mangroves. The first big snook hit immediately. The action was non stop. snook, redfish, trout, even a small tarpon. The day went by so quickly, it was like a great dream. Don't miss fishing with him. You will have a ball!"

    Dave G

  • "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."
