You will be fishing aboard a Skeeter SX240 that is powered by a 300 Yamaha engine and a Minn Kota trolling motor that helps it navigate shallow waters with ease. It comes with Dual Garmin 940's GPS, fishfinder, and all the necessary essentials for a fun and productive trip.

Captain Todd has decades of experience fishing in the eastern part of Florida and can accommodate beginners and veteran anglers alike. Some of the fish species you are likely to encounter on a trip are Redfish, Trout, Mangrove Snapper, and Black Drum. Those who like to catch their fish on the fly should let the captain know, so he can furnish them with fly fishing gear if necessary (2 person max).

Half Day Flats Fishing with Captain Todd on Mosquito Lagoon
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 30, 20222 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...

Response from Captain

Thanks Chris, And I understand about the catching. Unfortunately it is fishing, the next day I caught Tarpon and Reds. It just happens sometimes. I hope we can try again sometime, Todd

Great half day on the water with the kids
Half Day Trip (PM) on March 26, 20221 adult2 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.

Response from Captain

Cory, It was a pleasure spending the day with you and your boys. I sure hope to see you all again soon.

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.

Response from Captain

Christina and Dustin, was great spending a day of your vacation with you. It was a very enjoyable time despite having to change plans a few times due to weather. Despite that we were able to get you your desired species for the day. I certainly hope I have the opportunity to spend time with you two in the future. Captain Todd

I began fishing the flats and backwaters of Florida over 20 years ago. I have lived in Florida now 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 NW and fishing is some 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 NW's largest Fishing Rod Manufacturers. After 20 years 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.
