"Best charter out there!!"
Mary Young
"We did a morning half day trip in shore at the Ten Thousand Islands with Captain Todd. He was an excellent guide. We caught fish every time we stopped. Was very patient and answered all of our sons questions! His boat and equipment was in excellent condition. We had a lot of fun and could have easily stayed all day. We highly recommend Kickin Tail Charters!!"

"I have been fishing with Capt Todd off and on for over six years. He has yet to disappoint on any trip. The consummate professional guide. He knows where to go, when to go, and what to do to catch fish once there, inshore or offshore. Extremely likable, boundless energy, and definitely patient with a bunch of old guys like us. The best guide in southwest Florida if not all of Florida."

"While in Marco recently my family with children ranging in age from 3 to 19 years old decided to book a half-day "nature" cruise with Capt. Todd Godwin on his beautifully outfitted and fast (!) 32' boat. He took us to the gorgeous sand islands of Cape Romano where there was something for everyone to do, and we had a ball fishing, shelling and enjoying the wildlife sanctuary under his watchful eye and helpful expertise the entire time! If you come to Marco, make time to call Todd for an unforgettable experience of this type. He really knows the area all around, having grown up in these waters."

"I have fished south west florida for 30 years with many captains.In the last 10 years there is only one captain i will fish with, Todd Godwin.He is more than a captain. He always gives 100% to his clients.He is great with the family, whether you are an experienced fishing person or a novice.His equipment is the best and always very very clean.Please don't call him because then he will be too busy for me.You want to catch fish, call Todd."

6 friends have fished the Gulf this week with Captain Todd Godwin.He is an excellent guide.We caught our limit of red grouper each day as well as snappers,cobra,and permit. I highly recommend booking a trip if you want to fish around Marco Island.

"We went out with Todd on a family boat outing and the individualized service was spectacular! He seemed like part of the family about halfway through the trip. It was my three year old son's first boat ride and Todd was so helpful with making sure he was comfortable, got to see exciting things, was happy, and safe. We explored a great island and while there he helped my young son get shells out of his shoes and even helped him fish. Needless to say, my little boy thought he was great, and of course the rest of us did too!"
JoAnna C
"Captain Todd was awesome he did very well with 7 year old fisherman that caught a lot of big reds and snook all day. He kept us on good fishing and we had a great time. When dad gets to fish too its a good day."

"Once again Captain Todd delivered. On a recent trip to Marco I had the pleasure of fishing with Captain Todd again. I was fishing with 3 friends and we each caught a Gulf Coast Slam (Tarpon, Snook, Redfish). Captain Todd does everything possible to provide an enjoyable fishing experience. I'll definitely call on him again!"
Tony B
"I like to go fishing in many places I vacation and the most important thing is finding someone who is an expert on the local area. Todd knows where the fish are. I can't imagine someone knowing more about the water, tides, conditions, and best places to catch fish in and around the Marco area. I went out twice with Todd and I caught all the fish I wanted to...and then some. I had lots of fun catching snook and I took home enough red fish and snapper to share with everyone. When I'm back in Marco, I'll use Todd again without hesitation."
