Capt. Todd specializes in fishing the lower keys for sharks and tarpon.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Jack Crevalle, Bull Shark, Mutton Snapper, Blacktip Shark, Mangrove Snapper, Nurse Shark, Great Barracuda, Tarpon, Grunt, Bonnethead Shark, and lots of other toothy critters.
On these trips, you can expect to catch sharks and tarpon, and get into the fish as well.
The vessel is a 22' Pathfinder Tournament Edition fully rigged to fish.
Capacity is UP TO 4 passengers.
It is fully equipped with a cooler, ice, and fishing licenses are covered.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
A few items to bring include sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray preferably). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Great Day on the Water!!
Sunset 2 Hr Key West Fishing - Fam on March 13, 2026 • 2 adults
Recently my wife and I booked a fishing trip with Captain Todd. I’ve been out on several trips with different Captains around Florida over the years. This trip was great in many different ways. Captain Todd had done his homework. We caught some Mutton, Lane, Mangrove and Yellow Tail Snapper and also caught and successfully released a Goliath Grouper. I know the names of these fish because of Captain Todd’s knowledge. There was also the excitement of hooking and releasing a Nurse Shark. I enjoy battling with fish even if I don’t always keep them. But I also enjoy eating them. I’m writing this after just finishing a great meal of Mutton Snapper. We both had a great time, even though my wife doesn’t fish, Captain Todd made sure she had a comfortable place to sit, read and watch a sunset in the front of the boat. We both look forward to going with him again.

GREAT Day on the Water
Sunset 2 Hr Key West Fishing Intro on March 5, 2026 • 2 adults
We had an absolutely fantastic day on the water with Captain Todd! From the moment we left the dock, it was clear we were in great hands. His knowledge of fishing, local waters, and techniques is outstanding, and he took the time to explain what we were doing and why — which made the experience even better.
The action did not disappoint! We caught a big nurse shark, some mutton snapper, some lane snapper, some yellow snapper, some mango snapper and two sting rays— what a thrill! Captain Todd knew exactly where to go and how to adjust our approach to keep the bites coming.
Beyond the great fishing, the entire trip was relaxed, fun, and professional. Captain Todd made sure we were comfortable and having a great time. If you’re looking for a memorable fishing charter with someone who truly knows his craft, this is it. We can’t wait to book again! 🎣

Knows target areas- got us on Spot!
PM 4 Hr Shark - No Shark No Pay on March 9, 2026 • 4 adults
Talking Dog with Capt Todd was on point with his guidance, follow through and knowledge of the areas for the target fish. He’s easy to talk to with good vibes and very accommodating/patient with all skill levels. We caught our baitfish and then hit the spot for some shark fishing… he knew the timing for their activity and sure enough we got hits and managed to catch Black tips and Sharp Nose sharks! My Boys had a blast with the experience! Would definitely do again - Much appreciated Capt!!

Absolutely Incredible Day on the Water w/Capt.Todd!
2 Hr Key West Fishing Intro on November 19, 2025 • 1 adult
I had an unforgettable experience fishing with Capt. Todd at Talking Dog Charters in Key West! From the moment I stepped on the boat, Capt. Todd was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and the species we were targeting. His passion for what he does really shows, and he made the entire trip both exciting and comfortable.
The highlight of the day? I caught a massive Goliath Grouper, several nice Snapper and my personal best Bull Shark, an absolute thrill! Capt. Todd knew exactly where to go and how to put me on the fish. His guidance and expertise made all the difference.
If you’re heading to Key West and want an amazing fishing experience with a top-tier captain, Talking Dog Charters is the way to go. I'll definitely be booking with Capt. Todd again!

A Goliath Day!
PM 4 Hr Goliath Grouper on March 15, 2026 • 3 adults
Captain Todd was fantastic! He catered to all of our needs and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. We were targeting Goliath Grouper, of which we caught several (including a very large one Todd had named “Walter”) and landed one. We landed several large Lemon Sharks, which were fun to bring in. We would definitely recommend booking this trip with Captain Todd again!
