During g this half-day trip, we tried 3 or 4 different ways to catch fish and everyone was a success! He was patient and worked with our daughters and explained how to catch the fish using live bait. We fished over a reef, then trolled and even snuck up on a triple-tailed fish who was hanging by a buoy! Caught him too! We all caught several fish and only kept what Captain Ted would eat or use. Absolutely worth it and a complete success!

We went out with Captain Ted on a beautiful Friday Morning. He is a great guide and was so…read moreorganized! He even gave us a safety check about the boat (which is a 28.5 ft center counsel, with plenty of room to move around) and where everything was in case of emergency. His boat is very nice with anything you would need. Ted catches his bait right when you go out so, it is as fresh as it gets. We had a ton of fun catching King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel and blue runners. Along with Grouper, snapper and a few others. When we got back to skin the fish, we had 10 Times the fish that other fishing guides had brought in! He is also very attentive, making sure you always have fresh bait on your line and is right there when you have a fish on your line to guide you if you need help. We highly recommend him!

I could not be happier with the result! My guys had a phenomenal time with Todd. His insight and expertise in not only fishing, but the waterways and fishing spots of SWFL, made all the difference. He was courteous and incredibly helpful to our 7 year old who didn't have a ton of fishing experience. My husband and son came home smelling of salt water and gushing with fun stories they had collected throughout the day, and some photos of a couple of great catches too! It was a very special experience for them and I could not speak highly enough of Saltwater Todd Charters! We will absolutely be booking more charters in the future.

Captain Patrick delivered an absolutely incredible fishing experience for both me and my 4-year-old…read moreson. He met us right at our accommodations at South Seas in Captiva, which made everything so convenient. As a fishing fanatic with over 30 years of inshore experience around Sanibel, I had high expectations for my son's first charter. Captain Patrick exceeded them all. He masterfully catered to both an experienced angler and an excited preschooler, putting us on fish nearly non-stop throughout our 3-hour trip. We landed the complete inshore slam--redfish, snook, and trout! The highlight was truly special: Captain Patrick put me on a 36-inch snook and helped my son reel in a 34-inch snook. He even made a thoughtful gesture by letting my son keep the hook from his catch as a keepsake. What impressed me most was how Captain Patrick kept my son engaged and entertained the entire time. He taught him about the fish and birds, let him play with the bait, and found countless ways to maintain his focus and excitement--no easy feat with my 4-year-old! My son and I were on cloud nine after the trip. It was an incredible bonding experience that we'll treasure forever. Whether you're looking for a captain who will put you on big fish fast or someone who can create a memorable experience for young children, Captain Patrick is your guy. We'll absolutely be booking with him again on future Sanibel visits.
