Carl BrownRepeat angler5.0Verified⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Trip with Captain Todd!
Full Day Trip on August 28, 2026 • 3 adultsDespite Captain Todd’s determination to put us on fish, the day started off a little slow. He was doing everything right, but those stubborn fish just weren’t cooperating. To make matters worse, my buddy managed to drop his iPhone in the water. Can you believe our amazing captain actually got in the water, found the phone, and somehow the iPhone still worked?! 😂 We all shared a good laugh and definitely gave Captain Todd some well-deserved praise for going above and beyond. Shortly after that, the tide changed — pun intended! Captain Todd covered plenty of water, stayed patient, and kept working until we finally got on them. Before long, we were putting some big reds in the box and even had to toss a few back! Great captain, great attitude, and a great day on the water. You can tell Todd genuinely cares about making sure his clients have a memorable trip. I’ll definitely be booking with Captain Todd again. Highly recommend!
Jason Christianson5.0VerifiedExcellent first Red fishing trip!
Full Day Trip on June 4, 2026 • 2 adultsI went out with CPT Scott as CPT Todd was taking returning clients. Scott put me on fish despite the windy churned up water conditions. he was very knowledgable. Very personable and fun to be around. I through paddle tails all yet and caught my limit with them. There was also the option of poppers and shrimp. After I chatted with both Captains until my ride showed up. they were great to talk to! I will do this again in the future!!!
Erick Ericksen5.0VerifiedGreat trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 17, 2026 • 1 adultCaptain Todd was super knowledgable and put me on fish eventhough the condtions were not the greatest. We ised tactics that work and I was able to catch more than what I expected. I highly recommend Captain Todd. The boat and gear were also clean and high quality.
Tanel Kalaus5.0VerifiedAmazing experience
Half Day Trip (AM) on November 5, 2025 • 3 adultsWe really enjoyed our fishing trip with Todd. Everything went smoothly, Todd was very understanding and calm when instructing us novices and we even got a ton of fish (due to some stupid Louisiana rules had to throw the biggest ones back...). Our 4h trip turned into an almost 6h one as we enjoyed the company so much and Todd wanted us to experience different ways of fishing and a variety of places. Truly recommend warmly!
Michael Keppner5.0VerifiedNewGood fishing trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 24, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childcaught some nice red fish … captain did a great job putting us on the fish
Mark Benfield5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the Water
Half Day Trip (AM) on December 30, 2025 • 2 adultsPretty tough conditions due to a cold front that dropped the temperatures. We were scheduled for the previous day but the Captain suggested we wait. Smart move. The reds weren't super active today but we covered a lot of water and got into about ten fish, four of which were keepers. Todd is very patient and helped my son's casting improve. All in all a great way to wind up 2025.

Although we weren’t able to catch many fish, the captain who took me out went above and beyond to try every possible spot and technique. He was incredibly patient, easy to talk to, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. As a solo female angler, I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip. I also appreciated Captain Todd arranging the outing with him. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend Captain Todd and his crew!

Captain Tod was awesome and very knowledgeable he put us right on the Red fish. All three of us had our limits of red fish in about a couple of hours. Then we continued to catch and release. So if you are looking to catch fish captain Todd is your guide I rate him 5 out of 5 stars Thank you Captain and we will be back
