A Great Experience for a Solo Female Angler
Full Day Trip on August 15, 20261 adult

Although we weren’t able to catch many fish, the captain who took me out went above and beyond to try every possible spot and technique. He was incredibly patient, easy to talk to, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. As a solo female angler, I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip. I also appreciated Captain Todd arranging the outing with him. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend Captain Todd and his crew!

Excellent first Red fishing trip!
Full Day Trip on June 4, 20262 adults

I went out with CPT Scott as CPT Todd was taking returning clients. Scott put me on fish despite the windy churned up water conditions. he was very knowledgable. Very personable and fun to be around. I through paddle tails all yet and caught my limit with them. There was also the option of poppers and shrimp. After I chatted with both Captains until my ride showed up. they were great to talk to! I will do this again in the future!!!

Captain Tod was awesome and very knowledgeable he put us right on the Red fish. All three of us had our limits of red fish in about a couple of hours. Then we continued to catch and release. So if you are looking to catch fish captain Todd is your guide I rate him 5 out of 5 stars Thank you Captain and we will be back

Amazing experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on November 5, 20253 adults

We really enjoyed our fishing trip with Todd. Everything went smoothly, Todd was very understanding and calm when instructing us novices and we even got a ton of fish (due to some stupid Louisiana rules had to throw the biggest ones back...). Our 4h trip turned into an almost 6h one as we enjoyed the company so much and Todd wanted us to experience different ways of fishing and a variety of places. Truly recommend warmly!
