You made our kids week on vacation. We plan on taking another vacation at Old Orchard next year so we will be seeing you again next year, and this time we will book ahead advance.

Hi Todd:
We had guests that went out fishing with you today and came back singing
your praises. Not only did they catch alot of fish, they claimed you knew
just where to go for the best catch. I think he said he caught 17 sea bass
and we have two of the fillets in our freezer.
Since we list you on our website, we wanted you to know you made happy
campers of our guests from New York City!
Thanks so much for taking good care of them.

Captain Todd,
I just wanted to write and say what a great time we had on the Trina Lyn. Although the weather wasn't the best, it was a blast. Friday morning was a little chilly but the four of us were looking forward to the trip. Once we got out to the spot you picked, you were very helpful in explaining the procedures for fishing with the salt water tackle we were using. As my buddy Steve and I are used to fresh water tackle this was much appreciated. My son Chris and his friend Scott caught the first two Stripers of the day (leave it to the 9 year olds to show off in front of their Dads). All told we landed about twelve Stripers. We will definitely be back for more!! Thank you for a great time.

Hello Todd,
Just a quick note about our success onboard the Trina Lyn. We had a blast!
My kids will never forget reeling in fish after fish. They are already buzzing about next year!
Thanks to you and your expert guidance, we had a great day.
Thanks again,

Todd,
We had a great time! It was the highlight of our trip in Maine. You got
my wife Amy hooked on fishing. My friend Bob called me today and asked
when we are going to go back. We'd like to do an 8 hour charter next time.
Thanks Again,
Keith Ackerknecht
Hey Todd,
Just a note to thank you for such a great fishing experience 8/6/06!! Made it back to Indiana with no problems and my parents loved the fish. Haven't found my picture on your site yet, but there are so many; I might have missed it. Everyone thought that it was very cool that I had such a great time on a fishing charter with my name. It was the best fishing trip that I have been on so far and Kristi and Karen loved it as well. Hopefully we will make it back to Maine next year and go fishing with you again. Take care and thanks again for fitting us in on such short notice.
Katrina
Hey Captain Todd, this is Nicholas Rowe and i just wanted to thank you for the awsome fishing trip. We eat the stripers that night and they were great. I also dropped off those brochures for you where i was staying. I can't wait till next summer because i am defenetly going fishing with you again.
Thanks again,
Nicholas Rowe
Hi Todd, Just wanted to tell you how much fun I had! I have to admit I thought my Uncle Phil (Kearney) was out of his mind when he told me we were going fishing at 6:00 AM! but ...I have to say.... I AM HOOKED! I have lived in Maine now for 4 years and this was the best experience ever! Thanks again! and I am sure we will all see you next year!
Angela Sanborn
Hay Captain Todd, Made it back to NH just fine. Wanted to drop a quick line to thank you for the great time fishing. Looking forward to seeing pic's on web site. The two day's fishing with you was the best part of the trip. Looking forward to sporting my new T shirt and visior when I recieve them. You have been bragged about here in Keene, NH. Don't be surprised if a few customers come your way. Again thank you.
Carl Cormier and family.
Todd, I have been fishing as long as I can remember and last Saturday was one of my better days. We didn't catch big fish
but we caught many fish. All my buddies really had a good time and I just wanted to say thanks. You made our week-end!! Can you e-mail me those pictures of our trip, the guys are hounding me for them.
Thanks Again,
Peter Russo
Captain Todd, Thanks. I have been on many deep sea fishing trips only to get nothing. I really appreciate your knowlegde of the waters, it means alot!
I see why my father Carl is a repeat customer, we acually caught fish . I'm sure my "Fish Call" had something to do with it !!
I will be a repeat customer as well, and I promise to give Dave a few pointers before we return.
Thanks again
Anthony Cormier
We had such a fantastic time fishing with you the morning of August 19, thank you very, very much. We hope to get back up for the Labor Day weekend heading out on Thursday evening 9/1 and heading home on 9/5. What might you have available? Would love to see the pics of our catches so we have evidence of our fish tales!! lol

Todd thanks again for a great trip. We all truly enjoyed your company as not
just a great captain, but a great person. We caught a lot more then we could
have hoped for, but unfortunately didn't have a camera to document our
catches. If possible could you please email me the pictures that you took
from the trip on Wednesday 8/3. Thanks again.
The boys from Vermont: Rich, Geoff, Billy and Larry
Thanks,
Rich
Capt. Todd,
Thanks again for another GREAT Striper fishing trip!
The girls still can't believe about how sore their arms were from all the stripers they landed,. We did come up with a count of 15 stripers caught and now they believe how great last years trip with you was. Danielle's boyfriend is green with envy, as none of his fishing trips can compare to a day on the 'Trina Lyn'. I'll see you again in a few weeks with the boys from Yourplayingcards.com for a repeat of last years trip.
Tim Barker
Capt. Todd,
I can't tell you what a great time we had fishing aboard the Trina Lyn. The
top-water fishing techniques you showed us really helped bring in the
Bluefish. At one point, everyone in our group had a fish on line. It was
like a fishing show without any editing!
Thanks for the awesome time,
Larry Finn
Trip: Sunday, July 25, 2004
On Saturday night we spent a few hours going over fishing strategies and
enjoying some cold beverages with Captain Todd. Being the responsible one,
the Captain retired early to prepare for Sunday's bluefishing trip while
the rest of our party stayed out until the wee hours. The following morning
was sun drenched and gorgeous. A perfect day for fishing. Captain Todd told
us that the blues were hitting just beyond the mouth of the river and so we
headed out that way. The Captain found a spot to his liking and with the
first two casts, we had two blues. It continued like that for the next hour
or so. We caught a bunch, missed a bunch, lost some lures, sweated out our
hangovers, and had a great time. Top-water bluefish action with the Captain
on the Trina Lyn is as good as it gets.
Buck
Hey Todd,
Great day on Saturday- We 'Smoked em"
I look forward to getting up there again soon
and I also passed along your name to associates
so you should be hearing from a few of those as well.
When you get time, lets discuss your new brochures
and rack cards, I will do them in trade for fishing.
Thanks again for a great trip
Dave
Hey Todd
Just a short note to say Thank You for the great time. Had a blast catching Bluefish. Looking forward to next time. Thanks again

Captain Todd,
Thanks for another exciting fishing trip. Next year we will be coming up to Maine a week later; perhaps the fishing will be better. Jordan enjoyed the trip as well and as been telling everyone that he caught a fish.
Thanks again.
Jen, Dan, and Jordan Susa
Captain Todd,
Thanks so much for giving my dad a great fishing trip on 7/15. He and my brother had an absolute blast and are already talking about when they can go again. You really made their trip a good one.
If you wouldn't mind could you email me any pictures you took? Of course they couldn't figure out how to use the camera. Never said they were smart. Thanks again for everything!
Karen Chiurri
Hello, Todd.
This is Lisa Daughtrey. You really do keep your website up to date. I've been showing it to anyone who I can drag over for a look. Lends credibility to my fish stories, but you could have left out the part about screwing up your pole. It ruins my rep as a professional fisherman you know. Those fish felt heavier than 7-10 lbs. Are you sure they don't gain weight after being in the freezer? (Just kidding.) Seriously, my brother, dad, stepmom and I had a wonderful time on your boat. We found Cape Elizabeth and the Lobster Shack without a problem thanks to your directions.
I hope you have success with the remainder of your fishing season. Thanks again.
Lisa Daughtrey
Captain Todd,
Thanks for another exciting fishing trip. Next year we will be coming up to Maine a week later; perhaps the fishing will be better. Jordan enjoyed the trip as well and as been telling everyone that he caught a fish.
Thanks again.
Jen, Dan, and Jordan Susa
Hey, Todd
Just wanted to say thanks again, for having us aboard, we had a blast, never
caught fish that large before.
We are already planning, for next year.
Take care, and thanks again.
ALLEN HARVEY.
Hey Captain Todd, Don't know if you'll remember me or not. Doesn't matter, I fished with you about 5 years ago in and around July 5th. Party of 4, We landed over 50 fish that day. Iv'e deep sea fished since I was a kid, and that is one of the most memorable days fishing I've ever had . Action was incredible, I'll never forget it. Id like dates available for in and around July 12th, and the 25th. Also, do you do whole days in July? While going over your testimonials, I couldn't help notice that July 1st and 2nd week seem to be pretty good for stripers. Any suggestions? Can't wait to here from you.
Sincerely and still Impressed, Rolland Gerhart
Vermont
Hi Todd,
Rocky, Kurt (Wogy) and I had a great time on your boat Sunday. I just gotta say, I tried the Cod today and it was Excellent! Now I wish I would have saved more… but there’s always next time. I’m also sorry to say that the tagged one we caught won’t be registered because I seem to have lost the tag. I’m very sorry about that.
I would love to have a copy of the pictures you took though.
Anyway, have a good one and until next time,
Steve Captain Todd it's paul I had lots of fun on you boat incase
you forgot im the kid that you basicly caught the striper for. me my dad
and uncles are planing to come with you next year because you seem to no
what your doing anyway I got to go talk to you later
PAUL
Hi Todd,
We've seen the great pictures on
internet! Thanks again for these unforgettables moments with you. Max was
a bit disappointed that he couldn't get a fish by himself. May be next
time!
Take care
Danyèle Martin and Max.
Todd,
I just want to thank you one more
time for showing my kids and I such a great time. Starting with catching
mackerel and finishing the day by catching 6 striped bass proved to be
a great day for us all. Please tell me how we can book you again next year.
Germaine, Adam and I definitely want to catch bass again and you are the
Captain of our choice. You really mean it when you say “kids are welcome”.
Please feel free to use me as reference
if the need ever arises. My contact information is in your trip book. Thanks
again!
Richard Scott
Captain Todd,
Just a note of thanks for the great
trip. It was great to finally break the ice with a Striper, and almost
as much fun to watch the kids catch Mackerel by the bucket. Just plain
nice to see you again too.
I will be in touch soon, might try
to get another trip in before the season ends. Let me know when you need
more maple candy, got lots more where that came from. Take care and stay
safe.
Greg, Jason, Griffin and Colby
Todd,
I just wanted to pass along my thanks
and appreciation for your time last week. Maria and I both really enjoyed
fishing and spending some time on the Trina Lyn.
As for the Captain's notes, I was
not too shocked to see that you waited till I was out of state before you
decided to put up that rag time about my wife outfishing me every which
way you can imagine. Keep it up tough guy. Don't be so quick to drink whatever
I offer you next year, for there might be a mutiny in its infancy developing.
All joking aside, thanks again for
a great time and we look forward to next year. If you ever need something
when your in Boston let me know and I'll do whatever I can.
Dave Cahill
Todd-
Thanks for a great day of fishing
last Wednesday (10:00 am trip). It was the best fishing experience I have
ever had. I am looking forward to a trip on the Trina Lyn for next year
already. Can you please e-mail me a copy of the pictures that you took
of our trip. Our party included my brother-in-law Shawn Smith and my daughters
Chelsea and Candace.
Thanks again
I would like to commend Captain Todd
and the Trina Lyn. I am a native of Biddeford Maine and now live in Colorado.
We were recently on vacation and I took my kids on a fishing trip on the
Trina Lyn. As a kid growing up my dad took us frequently on charters, but
to the best of my memory this trip stands out as the best one we've ever
experienced. The Captain and his vessel get two-thumbs up.
Thanks, Again,
Wayne, Anthony and Cecilia D'Amico
Capt. Todd,
Just wanted to drop a note to ya.
Went fishing w/u two yrs. ago w/my boys (Kyle, Craig) and a friend of mine,
Terry "rip the lips off" West. We came up from Indiana and are still talkin
about the trip and showin off the pictures we took. Due to my mother-in-laws
death this month, our vacation (South Dakota) was changed to just smaller
weekend trips w/friends and family. Rarely a campfire conversation doesn't
include a memory of the Trina Lyn fishin trip and my youngest still talks
of catchin the mackerel. Had a few minutes of down time and just wanted
to thank u for the good time and believe me, we will get back up there
in the near future. Appreciate ur web-site as it keeps the memories alive.
Hope to see ya again soon,
Kevin Schlemmer
Just wanted first of all to thank
you for working with us in making this fishing trip happen. for our nephew
it was his first time and he couldn't stop talking about it. We have been
on a couple of other charters, but yours got the vote for the best and
everyone wants to book for another trip. I went on the website to see if
you might have got a picture of the guys, but couldn' t see it. my husband
didn't really capture any good shots. oh, well.
I didn't get a chance to touch base
with you to see if you ever received my check in the mail. I think if you
haven't I will stop payment on it, so that someone else doesn't get a hold
of it and try to cash it. If you did receive it, please e-mail me back
and at that point if you could just tear it up I would be fine with that.
I don't think it is necessary to mail back to me.
Once again thanks so much for the
memorable fishing trip to Maine and be assured that we will be spreading
the word here in Vermont and calling again for a repeat charter
Hi Todd, I can't beleive it's been
2 weeks since we went out on your boat.
I met to email you as soon as we
got home to thank you for the wonderful time we had. It was the first trip,
couldn't have asked for better weather and lots of fun catching those stripers.
I saw Trey's picture on your site. Thanks. It makes him feel great!! And
of course, mom too.
When you had me reel in that first
one, I felt like a idiot because I didn't know what to do. But it was fun
and a laugh for all I'm sure.
You did tell me to remind you to
send me the other pics that you took. That would be great if you could
do that.
Again - I want to thank you for
the fun time we had and beleive me - It won't be our last. We may try a
full day next year. But at least a half day anyway if all goes well.
We have also referred you to a few
people already that I 'm sure will be calling you next summer. At least
2 couples. We also told the people that own the sunset Motel and cabins
that they they told us the right place to go and told them to have you
first on the list of referrals. She said she knows you.
Take care and keep up the good work.
Linda, Reg, Trey and Dan
PS - If I'd known you had young
kids, I would have sugested you bring them along. We LOVE kids and I run
my own daycare here at home.
Keep smiling
Todd,
Obviously didn't get to try again
this year. Thanks for a great four hours. Made my vacation at any rate.
Haven't forgotten about getting you a Camelbak from the exchange. Soon
as I am off leave, I will get it to you. Take care and a belated Happy
Birthday. Hope your surprise was enjoyable.
Greg Knight
Todd,
Thanks for another fun day and the
extra time you spent with us. Charlie and I had a blast , that was the
most beers we drank fishing yet
Vin
Todd,
Thanks again, we had an excellent
time. The picture of us on your web site came out good. I'll try to book
as soon as possible for next year.
-David
Hello Todd, Just wanted to send you
a note of thanks for our fishing trip on the 4th.
Although we landed only four fish
that day it was still an enjoyable experience.
Thanks again.
Jim Lapointe
Hey Capt.Todd,
I just wanted to drop you a note
to let you know what a great time we had fishing.
Oh, I took the time to read the
capt.'s notes and was suprised to see that you mentioned me and my buddies,
it was great reading about the week with everyone.
Thanks again for a great time and
learning experience, I look forward to future trips.
David Uszynski
Captain Todd,
Thank you for the really nice fishing
trip. I had a great time!
Cheyenne Lewandowski
Todd-
Just a short note (I just got home
from Maine 5 minutes ago) to tell you "thank you" for a couple of really
great trips on the Trina Lyn.
As always, your professionalism,
skill, sense of humor, and dedication to your customers, have paid off
in some big smiles and great memories.
My nephews (Jonathon and Jordan)
can't wait until their next charter. This was Jordan's first trip, and
he loved it.
Your friend, and loyal customer,
:o) Bryan Callaghan
Dear Captain Todd,
We wanted to let you know how much
we enjoyed fishing for mackrel + strippers with you. It was a day we will
all remember. We were hoping to see our picture on your web site. We fished
with you on Tuesday, July 25th.
Thank you, Luke, Samantha, Cathy
+ Chris Giugliano.
If you want to send us an email
Hey Captain Todd: We drove home
from Ocean Park yesterday and on the way I asked each of the kids the best
time of our short week in Maine. Jims was the 34" Striper he took on the
Trina Lynn, Pat was the 5 stripers he took, Elizabeth was the Mackeral
she caught and her job as live well bait catcher for us. Mine was watching
the kids excitement fishing on the Trina Lynn. Thanks for a great trip.
20 stripers and 100+ mackeral was a great day of fishing. Our second year
out with you and even better than the first. This is at least an annual
event for us. I will forward pictures as soon as I get them developed.
Hope your summer is a good one. We will be in touch. Thanks again!
Steve Dandeneau, CT
Hi Todd,
I just wanted to let you know what
a great time we had. Your patience and direction with my kids was refreshing,
your'e outgoing manner was pleasurable. You made our mini vacation a memorable
one.Our only regret is that of not having more time to fish-that is definatly
a yearly event for us. ( I have to return to get the ones that got away!)
Thanks again, sincerly
Beth Moschetti
Todd, We had a great time fishing
with you. We looked for the picture on your website but haven't seen it
yet, so all I can do is hope my Nebraska friends don't think I'm lying.
Are you going to put my picture on the website? If you have time drop me
a line and tell me how the fishing is going.
Again thanks for the great time.
Rich Owens
Hi Captain Todd,
Just wanted to drop you a line and
to thank you for a great fishing charter on the 4th. My father told me
that he had as much fun as he has ever had fishing and that goes for me
too. He also wanted to thank you for returning his thermos. I'm already
looking forward to next year. Thanks again and I'll be in touch. The pictures
on you website were awesome, could you send them to me via email so I can
print them out and show my father. Thanks again.- Jim Lapointe
Todd,
I got my computer back up and I
received all the pictures as did my brother.
Thanks a million, you have gone
above and beyong the call. If you had just retouched about 35 pounds off
of me they would have been perfect. Look forward to going out with you
again on my next visit.
Thanks,
West Virgina Walt
Saw the photo of us on the web site.
We sure got alot of fish that day, had a GREAT time.. Hope to see you this
year around the end of August or so... Is the fishing better in August
or the 5th of July ??? We'll find out
Terry Fitzgerald and Loren Fitzgerald
Looks great Todd, Only problem I
did have was on the initial note, I tried using the Send E-mail option,
but it kept coming up with an error saying address not specified. But I
managed to get around it. Had a great time and I'll contact you later about
booking for next year. Thanks again for sending the pictures
- Brian Gambero
We had a great time fishing, both
my sons ( and me too ) each caught one in the last hour of the trip. You
did take some digital pictures of them. If you still have them would you
email me a copy. Thanks and I hope to hook up with you next summer. Send
me your spring/summer/fall schedule
Hi Todd,
You took me and my two boys out
on Aug. 9th. Had a great time.
Rich Frantz
Hope things are going well and that
the fishing is good,
Rich F
Todd: your pictures came through
fine ; i was a fishing hero at work all week.
I'm sorry i took so long to answer
your mail but derek came down with a really nasty case of the chicken pox
on tuesday. the poor kid looks like somebody has been using him as a shotgun
target.
i also wanted to thank you for your
compliment to derek about him being such a good fisherman. he didn't say
anyhting but i could tell he was pretty proud; i think it meant a lot to
him to have a professional charter captain say that.
hope the rest of your season goes
well.
mike
Just wanted to thank you for a great
day of fun.....although the weather wasn't very good you still made the
trip fun.
We are looking forward to another
trip, if not this year, definatly next year.
Still looking for some good maple
syrup for you, will mail it when we get a good price.
Thank you again
Faith and Jim Nelson
Todd,
We enjoyed the day. 7 strippers
landed plus more we missed made it fun and the company was good.
We had a good trip. That's two in
a row. Have told some friends about our trip. Have given your web page
and email address to them. Hopefully you'll hear from them.
Thanks again.
Al and Kay
Had a great time fishing again, and
it was good to keep the pole on the boat this time!!
Hope we get into another school
of stripers next year, cause I know this time I'll get one
Jim Roust
Hi Capt.,
Got home tonight. Received the picture
and it looks great!!!
Thanks a million for the day on
the water. We had a Fantastic time! Two of the filets made a delicious
chowder. We'll be eating the rest very soon. Will definitely be back next
year.
Did you get the money order yet?
Please let me know.
Thanks again, Kevin, Kyle, &
Bob

you again if I have the opportunity. We enjoyed ourselves very much in
June.
I hope we can get together again
this fall. Thanks again.
John Hicks
Todd-
had a great time, even if the stripers
were a little "bashful". I never would have believed that fish could be
taken on a bare hook. Bryan Callaghan
Todd,
Just sending a note of thanks from
myself (Jim), Bob, Todd,and Dan for our trip on Friday, 7/2 for Dan's bachelor
party. We are bummed that we got rained out and had to end early but all
agreed it was a really good time. As you know, the next day was beautiful
and sunny (of course!). In any case, we are hoping to take you up on a
return trip sometime later in August or in September - Jim White
Todd,
You had told us to sent you an email
and you would send us the pictures you took while we were fishing, just
wanted to let you know that we had a great time fishing with you and THANKS
AGAIN.
Randy,Nancy,Randy Jr.&Jenna Collins

Hey Captain Todd you have my picture

striper. If you could send me the picture, I would appreciate it very much.
The trip was great, we all had a lot of fun.
Thank you,
Tony
Hi Todd, how is everything? I just
went out in New London CT last Sunday and had a great day of fishing for
Blues. They were in we had many double and a couple of triples. I want
to thank you for your outstanding charter in August. I plan to see you
next year to do it again. I am going down to Florida at the end of the
month to fish for some grouper. Can't wait. Todd keep up the great work.
I would like to say that you are a true fishing charter that ensures that
everyone has a great time fishing with you. If you are ever free at the
end of April and want to catch some stripers in the CT River let me know
and I will take you out on my boat. Take care Dave Henchey
Capt. Todd,
Just wanted to let you know we had
a great time on Tuesday. It will definately be a trip to tell others about.
Thanks,
