Spot Stalker Charters LLC invites you to team up with Captain Todd Vivian for an exciting fishing trip in the inshore and nearshore waters over at Florida's East Coast. He will take you fishing along Ponce Inlet and the New Smyrna Beach area to show you where the finest fishing spots around are hidden.

Your boat for the day will be a Skeeter SX240. It's powered by a 300 HP Yamaha outboard and has a Minn Kota trolling motor that helps it navigate shallow waters with ease. Equipped with a Garmin Echoscan GPS which provides you with side imaging and down imaging along with GPS functions, and all the regulation safety gear, it's got all you need for a productive day on the water.

The Shark Bite Capital of the world rarely disappoints…. We fish for sharks pretty much any time we can get out. Weather is all that stops us.

The premium times for Tarpon are late July through September. The jumbo Redfish will begin showing during these times as well but will continue through November. In late fall, you will begin fishing Flounder and Sheepshead along with the usual Redfish, Black Drum, and sharks. Make sure to let Captain Todd know if you're a fan of fishing on the fly – he'll be happy to provide you with fly gear if you need it, only one angler at a time while fly fishing.

Armed with decades of fishing experience under his belt, Captain Todd can accommodate novice anglers and veterans alike. He'll supply you with rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as fishing licenses, and water. Feel free to bring your own lunch if you fancy a snack during the trip, as well as a pair of sunglasses and a hat so you can fish and relax.

    Excellent experience

    3 hr. on July 1, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Our trip with Captain Todd was fantastic. The boat was very clean and organized. We left the dock on time, maybe even a few minutes early. All his equipment was in perfect working order, rods and reels like brand new. We were fishing within minutes and catching fish very quickly. With his help we caught snapper, flounder, Black Sea bass, porgies, and several others. The big get was 3 gigantic Bull redfish. We each got one, my 13 year old fought his for 6 minutes, with helpful instruction from Captain Todd. He’s everything you want in a boat captain - knowledgeable, patient, and fun. We will definitely be booking with him again.

    Awesome birthday fishing trip!!

    3 hr. on July 17, 2025 • 2 adults

    We booked an early morning fishing tour and he was even flexible with us adjusting our time a little. Fishing was initially kind of slow but the captain helped us find a better fishing spot, with his help and expertise we were able to catch some great fish like bull red! It was our first ever fishing trip and I highly recommend. We have never caught such a big fish until today! Will definitely be coming back

    11th Wedding Anni Trip ROCKED!

    3 hr. on May 31, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Todd put us on some nice fish! Beautiful Reds! He was always quick to help with the tackle, bait and reels. The boat was in immaculate shape and Captain Todd was not only very knowledgeable about the sport, but also very kind to talk to. This will not be our last charter with him! So happy we decided to book this last minute three hour trip. Thanks Captain Todd for a wonderful experience and memories to pocket 🤘🏼🎣

    Great time

    Mini Trip II on July 5, 2025 • 2 adults

    We had a great time. Todd is very knowledgeable on the waters and about the fish and how to fish the waters in the area. He had plenty of live bait for us to use and bottled waters and showed us how and where to fish since neither one of us have any fishing experience it was all new to us. We caught a couple fish and took some photos and had a great time I'd recommend booking with him.

I began fishing the flats and backwaters of Florida over 20 years ago. I have lived in Florida since 2008 and spend over 200 days a year on the water in the Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River areas. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and fishing is one of my earliest memories. After my time in the Navy and college, I went to work for Lamiglas, Inc. as a rod/blank designer. Lamiglas is one of the Northwest’s largest fishing rod manufacturers. After 20 years of designing rods for Lamiglas, I moved to Florida, where I have been designing rod-building components and equipment, along with rod blanks, for Mud Hole Custom Tackle.
