Gretchen Schoser•
Florida, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedBest trip ever with an amazing guide
Full Day Trip on August 19, 2026 • 2 adultsWhat an AMAZING day of fishing! We spent 8 hours out with Todd and caught more fish in one day than we’ve caught all summer. The absolute highlight was my wife landing a 27-inch Northern Pike. What a freaking fish, and such an awesome moment! Todd is incredibly knowledgeable, knows where the fish are, and somehow makes the entire day feel like you’re just out fishing with a good friend. He’s fun, easygoing, patient, and clearly loves what he does. If you have the opportunity to book a fishing trip with Todd, DO IT! You will not regret it. We had an absolute blast and would go fishing with him again in a heartbeat. Thanks for an unforgettable day, Todd! 🎣

United KingdomMember since 20265.0VerifiedFantastic Family Fishing Trip - Highly Recommended!
Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM on June 29, 2026 • 3 adultsOur trip was amazing from start to finish. Captain Todd was fantastic. Friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the lake and the fish. We had our 15-year-old son on his very first fishing trip, and Todd made sure he had a brilliant experience. We tried a variety of lures, caught a great largemouth bass, and then focused on finding shoals of perch on the sonar so my son could catch several fish. The scenery was absolutely stunning, with peaceful surroundings and plenty of local wildlife, including the highlight of spotting a pair of bald eagles. It was a memorable day on the water, and we would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone, whether you're an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time. Thanks again for a fantastic experience!

Jessica Hollingsworth•Virginia, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedFun afternoon fishing!
Half Day Trip - 2:00 PM on July 9, 2026 • 2 adultsEverything was great! From Todd being there early, a good safety briefing, excellent boat and equipment. He was great with my 13 year son. For us Mississippi guys this was a great way to fish in the Adirondacks without being worried about bringing anything because Todd had it all.

New Species Unlocked!
Half Day Trip on August 23, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childWe were excited to try to catch a pike and we did! Todd was a great captain, friendly and full of knowledge. He had a wide variety of tackle and equipment. Would definitely book again.
Travis Wattie•New York, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedCapt. Todd is Terrific!
Half Day Trip - 8:00 AM on August 17, 2025 • 4 adultsTodd is a friendly and knowledgable guide who put us on the fish and shared history and personal stories about Saranac Lake. He connected immediately with my boys as they talked about various fishing strategies and was equally as engaging with me and my wife as we chatted about a variety of subjects while the boys fished. He was on a mission to catch fish and didn’t disappoint. Todd will be our first call when we visit the area again!

This was a last minute planned trip. Captain Todd was fantastic. I had brought my two kids with me who were 11 and 8 and we had a fantastic day catching fish!  we caught both small mouth and large mouth bass, yellow perch, sunfish, and had some action with a few pike as well! Not knowing what I was getting into, captain. Todd was very personable, experienced, and was great with my children as well. Providing an amazing experience for them too. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!
Thank you Jake. It was a pleasure fishing with you and your children.

Thank you Mark for the kind words, it was great fishing with you all. Enjoy the rest of your trip to the USA and safe travels home.
We had a great family outing with Captain Todd. The boat is really well outfitted and ready to catch different fish. We did some fishing for smallmouth bass and then switched to Northern Pike. He was easy to work with and helped make the time enjoyable. I highly recommend this boat and captain.
Thank you Ken. It was great fishing with you and your family.
