"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 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!"

"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 have had the pleasure of fishing w/ Cpt. Todd on several occaisions and have found him to be a fantastic Charter Captain. He works VERY hard to find and catch fish for his charters whether you are fishing backcountry or big water! You cannot go wrong booking a charter w/ Cpt Todd!!!"

"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
"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."
