    Trip With Captain Todd Vivian (Spot Stalker Charters)

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) Beach on June 20, 2018

    I've been on fishing trips and charters from Florida through Northern Ontario and working with Todd Vivian was the best I've ever dealt with. I asked Todd some specifics about a week out of targeted species, and he came through with flying colors. We caught barracudas (which we were wanting to catch), a 6 foot shark (my wife is reminding me daily that she caught it), and snappers. We had a blast, and Todd has great stories and I believe made my wife and me better fishermen. You need to book with Spot Stalkers.

    3/4 day veterans trip with Captain Todd

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) - Veterans on March 9, 2018 • 3 adults

    There was a cold front and it was windy. We told him we wanted some big fish. Over 20 lbs. We caught about 10 fish all under two lbs. But we had an experience we’ll always remember. .We had larger expectations and the wind and weather made things harder for all. Thanks Todd

    Half Day Flats Fishing with Captain Todd on Mosquito Lagoon

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

    My 17 year old son and I had a great day flats fishing with Captain Todd! His expertise as a guide is excellent and he is very knowledgeable of fishing in central Florida...And, his boat was clean and he offered up many options for bait and tackle. Although we caught only a few fish we enjoyed cruising the Mosquito Lagoon channels on a beautiful sunny day. Captain Todd was very gracious and a great conversationalist. And, his rate was a steal...I would have given the Overall Experience 5 stars but did not do so because are catch was not to our expectations. Highly Recommended...

    Great half day on the water with the kids

    Half Day Trip (PM) on March 26, 2022 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Todd was great with my two sons 4 and 7 and a half day was perfect in terms of time. The boat was perfect and we caught 6 different types of fish. Both boys caught fish (and caught naps in the sun) with Captain Todd reminding their fishing father about sunscreen. :) Todd was super easy to talk with, very tolerant of tangled lines and knows the area really well. Would absolutely book again.

I began fishing the flats and backwaters of Florida over 20 years ago. I have lived in Florida since 2008 and spend over 200 days a year on the water in the Mosquito Lagoon and North Indian River areas. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and fishing is one of my earliest memories. After my time in the Navy and college, I went to work for Lamiglas, Inc. as a rod/blank designer. Lamiglas is one of the Northwest’s largest fishing rod manufacturers. After 20 years of designing rods for Lamiglas, I moved to Florida, where I have been designing rod-building components and equipment, along with rod blanks, for Mud Hole Custom Tackle.

    Great Barracuda
    Today’s trip was supposed to be a hunt for Barracuda, well I had gone scouting last week and found plenty of them for Dustin and Christina. This morning we had a wind change and the 0.9 wave height every 12 seconds turned into 2.5 every 3 seconds. So in the morning we made one attempt but it was just too rough. We went back in closer to shore and caught a big Nurse Shark and some Mangrove Snapper and other reef dwellers. With about 1 1/2 hours left in the trip it was looking like the water was laying down a bit so we ran out to the Buoy’s where we trolled Cuda Tubes past each can and if we picked up a cuda or had a follower we would stop and cast the tubes at them. Well needless to say Dustin and Christina were successful with a couple of Barracuda to the boat and many other blowups and several that cut through the line. For me having never targeting this species I enjoyed the blowups and shear strength that they possess. I have caught many barracuda in the past but always as by-catch when fishing for something else.
