I’ve known Todd since he was just a novice fisherman, full of energy and passion for the sport. To see him now, running Teacher Todd Guide Service with that same spark—only grown into an incredible teacher and guide with all the tools to provide a first class experience—is nothing short of amazing.

My son Sam, an avid novice fisherman and I had an unforgettable day on the water with Todd. He made every moment fun, while also diving into the fascinating intricacies of fishing—from choosing the right lures to understanding how the fish behave. My son was already hooked (pun intended!)  on the thrill of catching fish, but Todd added the needed dimension of learning the “why” and “how” behind it all.

What stood out most was Todd’s ability to share his lifelong love of fishing in a way that’s contagious. His patience, energy, and storytelling kept my son engaged the entire time, and he came away feeling like he’d not only had the best fishing trip ever, but also gained real skills and knowledge he’ll carry forward.

To watch someone I’ve known for so long channel his passion into helping others discover the same joy—it was incredible. If you’re looking for a fishing experience that’s part adventure, part education, affordable, and 100% fun, look no further than Teacher Todd Guide Service. You won’t just leave with fish—you’ll leave with memories, laughter, and a whole new appreciation for the sport.

I have now taken Sam to several different fishing spots, dropped him off, and felt perfectly confident that he is equipped with the tools to know how to respond to most of what fishing actually throws at a man in a day. Sam is already talking about taking up ice fishing and is teaching me about Fishing!

Our guided trips with Todd were the best! He is knowledgeable, patient, and a lot of fun! We tried several different spots and consistently caught some really nice smallies! Would highly recommend booking a trip with Todd! We plan to book future trips with our sons and guided ice fishing in the winter. Thanks again, Todd!!

I had an amazing experience with Todd fishing the Wisconsin River. He knew exactly where to go, had all the gear, and shared tons of tips and tricks throughout the day. You can tell he truly loves what he does and really cares about making your trip a success.

Todd was a great guide. We went out in early August which isn’t an easy time to find fish, but  we were in the fish very early. Todd did a great job explaining to my son different techniques which was awesome. We also went way over time and he made every effort possible to make sure my son got a fish. If we are looking for a guide in this area again we will be calling Todd for sure.

We had a great time fishing with Teacher Todd. He was very patient with my son who is new to Fishing and taught him many new techniques that he can use for the rest of his life. He is now super excited about Fishing and wants to fish all the time. I highly recommend a father son Trip with Teacher Todd

Unforgettable Topwater Action with Teacher Todd Guide Service!

A recent guided fishing trip with Teacher Todd's Guide Service in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, shattered all expectations, delivering an unforgettable day of topwater angling for incredible smallmouth bass and a bonus Northern. Todd Martinson's expertise and passion for guiding are evident from the moment you step onto his boat.

His ability to locate actively feeding fish was nothing short of amazing. Throughout the day, we were consistently treated to the heart-stopping spectacle of smallmouth bass exploding on our surface lures. Todd's knowledge of the local lakes, streams, and rivers is unmatched, and he navigates them with a quiet confidence that immediately puts you at ease.

What truly sets his guide service apart is the notable pride Todd takes in ensuring his fishing clients have a successful and memorable experience. He is a patient and encouraging teacher, freely sharing his techniques and insights. It's clear that he genuinely gets as much excitement out of his clients catching fish as they do.

For any angler seeking a thrilling day on the water and a masterclass in topwater fishing for smallmouth bass, a trip with Todd Martinson from Teacher Todd Guide Service is an absolute must. His dedication and unparalleled knowledge of the Tomahawk and Northern Wisconsin fisheries make for an exceptional adventure.

Thanks Todd, look forward to our next fishing adventure!

All the best... Josh

19 out of 10 stars for Teacher Todd! As if catching nonstop football sized smallmouth on top water baits wasn’t enough… he managed to keep us smiling the whole time. His “can do attitude” compliments his tactical “hot spot” identification abilities. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience… look no further.

I can’t wait to get back out on the water with Todd! Thanks a million for helping me to set a PR for fish caught!

Todd took my 16 year old daughter and her boyfriend out fishing for the day. He was so patient with my daughter who hadn't had much real fishing experience.  Todd knew where the fish were and the kids caught so many. I highly recommend Todd to anyone. You will have the trip of your lifetime.
