What 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! 🎣
Our 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!
First time for my boys (11,10) charter fishing on a lake. Captain is the best with kids. My oldest has a birthday coming along he wanted was to catch his first pike. Poof captain put him on a 18" pike. Would highly recommend if you want catch fish in Saranac lake. Will definitely fish with Todd again. Feel like I have a new friend for life!
Everything 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.
my son wanted to catch his first northern pike. it was looking pretty dim but we finally found a few at the end. captain was very friendly and was very patient with my sons endless questions. lol.
Saranac Lake is a gem. And so is Captain Todd. It felt like I was fishing with a friend. We caught fish throughout our trip with the right gear and a comfortable boat.
We had a great time on our trip! The guide was very friendly and helpful in teaching new fishing lure techniques. Highly recommend!
great trip, guide was incredible - my son caught his first pike and it was 25 inches - few small mouths as well
We 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.
Todd 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!
