St Augustine Fishing Charter Customer Testimonials & Reviews
“We booked a second trip because we loved the first trip that much! Todd is excellent with the kids (5 and 11). This trip the fish weren’t playing nicely (it is fishing after all). Captain Todd increased our chances by locating live bait fish then quickly back to the honey hole. Landed several fun fighting fish and enough keepers for two meals of five fish loving appetites. At the ramp someone asked “are you going out with Captain Todd, you’re in good hands he will find the fish”. Our Daughter caught her first fish and my wife caught her first flounder. Highly recommend you booking with Captain Todd!!”
“We spent 3 hours fishing with Captain Todd on the Tolomato Rver and Intercoastal Waterway. He made every moment count. We were able to bring back a 27 inch red fish to eat and caught a bunch of blue fish for fun. At the end of the trip he brought us over to the Castillo de San Marcos and to see the cross at the Mission. His 40+ years of experience fishing in the Saint Augustine area was a huge plus giving us a successful experience. I would recommend a trip wit Captain Todd to anyone and will be sure to book with him again! It would be hard to find a guide with more fishing knowledge of the area. He’s the REEL deal!”
“Captain Todd made this fishing trip one that we will always remember. He took his time with our two girls and also with us helping us with the bait and patiently teaching us how to cast. We were lucky that all four of us caught several fish. His anecdotes and stories were very interesting and entertaining. Thank you Captain Todd!”
“I went fishing with my Father and 8 year old son today. We had a great morning on the water with Captain Todd. He went out of his way to make it a special day for my Son and helped him bring in a 35inch Blue Fish! We also caught fish for dinner which was an added benefit. Thanks Captain Todd for a great day!!”
“My wife and I had a great time fishing with Captain Todd. He is very knowledgeable and knows the area like the back of his hand. He put us on fish and when we got back to the landing he cleaned, filleted and bagged our fish. Highly recommend his services!!!”
