"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."

"Best charter out there!!"

"I have fished with Captain Todd several times and have always found him to be a very professional guide, willing to go the extra mile to make a fishing trip interesting, productive and enjoyable. He is always willing to run to where the fish are. I look forward to fishing with him again in the future."

"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!!!"

"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!"

"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!"

"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."

He always gives 100% to his clients.He is great with the family, whether you are an experienced fishing person or a novice.His equipment is the best and always very very clean.Please don't call him because then he will be too busy for me.You want to catch fish, call Todd."
Don Bonica
"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."
