About Your Guide

Captain Todd is a USCG-certified captain who has been fishing the area around Gulf Shores, AL for over 20 years. He was raised here in Alabama and loves showing clients all that this beautiful state has to offer. He specializes in inshore fishing, and particularly enjoys targeting Speckled Trout on live baits. He enjoys watching people enjoy reeling in their own fish almost as much as doing it himself, especially when he's given them a helping hand.

Excellent fishing trip! Captain Todd knew exactly where to go to find the fish. We brought home seven keepers and even got to send a couple home with the Captain for dinner, that’s not even counting all the ones that we released. 10/10 would definitely fish with Captain Todd again.

Great experience!!!! Captain Todd made sure we had a great time, if the fish were not biting in one spot he would move on. We caught a variety of fish and had a great time on a 2 hour trip. We were first timers and he explained everything.
