    Great guide, knowledgeable and experienced

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on May 30, 2026 • 2 adults

    it was a good time he's a great guide and person. He knew where to go and what to use to get them. And he changed my time to best fish with the tide. Definitely not a clock watcher, paid for a 4 hour trip ended up going a little over cause the fishing was going good at the moment.

    great trip

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 11, 2026 • 3 adults

    My boys and I were hoping to get on some flounder, and Todd did not disappoint! Caught 20+ fish in total, including a couple keepers. Todd was friendly and fun to be with. Hope to do it again next year. Thanks for a great time on the water!

    Captain Todd knows his stuff

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 30, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Very patient with us as we learned the ways of the water! We were lucky to catch a few small fish and a HUGE 150lb butterfly ray! The tides and currents were not on our side this morning. We are definitely coming back next year. Thank you, Todd.

    Best flounder fishing

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on August 11, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    we had a wo derful time with Todd. A great down to earth guy who worked hard to turn an imperfect tide into magnificent fishing. The boat is nothing to look at but the captain is top notch amd worked hard to get us fish. i think he enjoyed it as much as we did. We’ll be back the next time we’re un the area.
