Captain Todd has spent years fishing Florida waters from Tampa Bay to the Keys, both inshore and offshore, building a strong background across a wide variety of fisheries and techniques. He originally got started kite fishing in Miami before eventually focusing much of his time on the inshore and nearshore waters around Key West.

Today, he specializes in targeting Sharks and Tarpon, spending his days chasing some of the hardest-fighting fish the Keys have to offer.

Captain Todd still approaches every trip with the same excitement that got him hooked on fishing in the first place and enjoys sharing that experience with anglers of all skill levels. Whether you’re looking for nonstop shark action, a shot at a trophy tarpon, or a laid-back mixed bag trip around Key West, his goal is to create a fun, straightforward, and memorable day on the water.
