    Great with kids.

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 children

    Great morning on the water catching fish and bonus was getting to watxh dolphins swim. Todd was great with the kids. Would recommend him and going out in the morning before it gets hot. This trip is best for 4 people or less, bring a small cooler with ice if you want to bring fish home with you. Stop to use thr bathroom before meeting at the marina, porta pota can be questionable.

    Captain Todd put us on to a whole mess of trout right out the gate. We had a bit of trouble getting them in the boat at first but we caught our limit. Definitely will use Captain Todd and his boat again next year.

    Great Experience

    3 Hour Trip — Mid Morning on July 16, 2025 • 3 adults

    Capt. Todd had everything ready to go and we were on the water less than 5 minutes after we arrived. My son and his friend are novice fishermen and Todd did a great job with them. They both caught fish and had a great time. He really knows what he is doing. It was a great experience with my son and his friend.

    Great day on the water!

    3 hour inshore !!!! on May 1, 2024 • 4 adults

    Three old folks (past 75y/o and a 20 y/o) youth - all caught fish, including one 30-40 lb drum that was a long battle for first timer on charter. Capt. Todd was patient and kept busy keeping all rods baited and finding the right places to fish. Will definitely do this again and definitely with Todd.

    4 hour trip with captain Todd

    3 Hour Trip — Mid Morning on July 26, 2023 • 3 adults

    Had a great time with my 10 and 5 year olds. Captain Todd put us on the fish and he himself done a great job keeping up with both boys fishing allowing me the opportunity to fish as well. We definitely caught the morning bite, caught some good fish and missed some good fish (simply can’t land every bite you get). Highly recommend the early morning trip.

    Fishing with Todd

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 30, 2022 • 2 adults

    What a fun time with had with cool captain Todd! He worked tirelessly to keep my bait on my line. i was feeding the fish more than catching. 🤗. His boat was the cleanest i’ve ever been on. Larry has never caught a fish so big so he was so happy. most definitely 5 stars and if there was 6 i would give him an extra one. USE TODD!!! Also i hope his mom enjoyed the biggest trout caught by me. 😬😬😬. Good times with great folks.

If you don't catch fish with Captain Todd, it's not his fault! We were on fish at daylight, and had our limit of trout early. No nonsense, just a lot of fish in the boat!
