Half Day Trip (PM) on July 29, 2026 • 4 adultsWe had a wonderful time. I brought my family of four and Captain Todd was extremely attentive to us. Not a hook went unbathed, and we caught so many fish we lost count. He asked what kind of fish we were interested in catching and we targeted those. We had the privilege of hearing multiple stories of his past times fishing, and he provided a lot of insight and education to our trip. Specifically he knew everything there was to know about our target species and best methods of catching (simplicity is best)! He was patient and gave lots of reminders on how best to set hooks. Highly recommend booking him. We will be back!

Kendrah Robinson5.0VerifiedUnforgettable Trip, Absolutely A-1Service and attention
Half Day Trip (AM) on March 29, 2024 • 2 adultsWhere do I Start, Captain Todd made this trip one that my son will never forget. He communicated much needed details before I booked, and once our reservation was final he made sure everything was taken care of. He was timely, professional and the host was clean and ran beautifully. Todd chose a fishing area where he knew catches were guaranteed and educated my son the whole trip. My son and husband said the huge walleye they brought in were well beyond their expectations. Highly recommend Third Coast Charters!
Michael Vanloon IIIRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic!

Jenna CopelandRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf Day with Captain Todd
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 25, 2021 • 3 adults • 1 childThis was a great charter!!! Captain Todd was knowledgeable about White Lake, and where we would catch fish! My son is 12, my father has experience, and I am a beginner with fishing. Captain Todd was patient, encouraging, accommodating, and very positive!! We caught over 25 fish of all different species, and kept approximately 8 of them. Captain Todd filleted them for us, and we were able to enjoy them on our camping trip!! The excitement and pure joy in my son’s face was priceless! Thank you Captain Todd for a great morning, and adding to my son’s love of fishing! We will be back!!
