"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."

"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 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!"
