About Your Trip

Head out for an introductory fishing adventure with Captain Todd! This trip is perfect for kids, families, and people who haven't fished much in the past. This trip is just two hours, so it's perfect if you want to hook into some rod-bending action and bring home some tasty fillets for dinner, without dedicating an entire day to the fish.
On this trip, you'll target classic Gulf inshore species, such as Redfish, Spotted Trout, and Flounder. These are great fighting fish, and great table fare as well!
You'll be fishing from the deck of Captain Todd's beautiful 27' Shearwater bay boat—an ideal vessel for fishing these waters. She features a 350 HP Yamaha engine, so you'll be on the fish in no time! Captain Todd will come with everything you need for a great day, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you need to bring is sunscreen, proper clothing, a pair of sunglasses, and a smile!

Amazing trip. Our guide Todd was amazing. Helped my elderly father catch a few fish. My 14 year old had a blast.

Captain Todd went above and beyond to make our experience truly memorable! He was quick to bait lines, cast our reels, and provide a lot of laughs and knowledge along the way! 10/10 recommend!

I waited exactly a week before leaving this review. I wanted to cool off from our extremely horrible experience on captain Todd’s tugboat.
Everyone has an off day and I hope that is what we caught this on , I would hate to think that he treats people on a regular basis the way we were treated.
There are two things that we didn’t count on.
1. A complete lack of southern hospitality and 2. To fish basically off the bank and in two feet of water.
Captain Todd repeatedly baited our hooks and cast them himself, that’s fine his equipment, we got it. However upon snagging and repeatedly loosing hooks in a rock reef just off the shoreline, he would get upset and yell “goddammit”! Well that was not on us buddy look in the mirror. Or baited hooks flying past your eyes was also a frequent incident . My son managed to catch a few bait fish which we had done off the bank in the hotel. The only Todd was really worried about was getting paid what I would consider an insane amount of money to be hauled around in a tugboat just off the bank. Would never ever recommend ever!

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hey Tonya, I'm so sorry to hear that about this experience. It sounds like you all were fishing in some shallower water near structure and Captain Todd was doing his best to give you and your family the best possible chance of properly presenting bait to fish. We've tried reaching out to you a few times to get some more context here, so please give us a call when you get a chance. We'd love...

Fishing with Captain Todd was fantastic. Our group included 3 women of various fishing experience, from avid fisherwoman to almost no experience at all. He could not have been a better guide for us. He was helpful and patient the entire time and best of all, we caught fish.

I would definitely book Captain Todd again for any age group or fishing experience level.
