About Your Trip

Gout there and explore the rich inshore waters of Gulf Shores, AL with Captain Todd, a lifelong angler and local gamefishing expert! On this trip, you'll hunt down Alabama's classic inshore sport species: Redfish, Flounder, and Spotted Seatrout. You'll put a few different techniques to work, including jigging, bottomfishing, and sightcasting as you go after these exciting fish.

Whether you're going for an all-time best or a first-time catch, Captain Todd knows how to put you right on the fish. Once you get off the dock aboard his beautiful 27' Shearwater bay boat, he'll introduce you to the best spots and hidden holes—then it's your chance to fight some fish! Captain Todd is an excellent teacher, and he's happy to provide some expert tips and tricks when the fish is on the line.

His boat is also perfect for fishing these waters, with a 350 HP Yamama engine and some extra creature comforts to make your trip as comfortable as it is productive. Captain Todd will bring everything you need for a great day, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle; just remember proper clothing, a hat, and sunscreen and you'll be good to go!

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.
