Talking Dog Fishing Key West 

met up with todd and we headed out to the wreck. Instantly got hooked on a lemon shark, but the line got bitten over by another shark. Another big bite where the hook did not sit. Then we waited for some time and caught a big barracuda we used for bait. As we were getting close to the end of the 4hr trip, a 300lb stubborn bullshark was hooked. The battle took 5 hours, and never once did Todd consider cutting the line and being back on time. 4 hrs overtime and always a good mood. Todd is the best guy, and i cannot recommend him enough. Worth every single penny and more. THANK TOU TODD!!!!! You are the man!!!

Our experience with Todd/Talking Dog Fishing was so good. Easy to book, and a great price for 2 people. His boat was pristine as was his fishing gear and equipment. The motor was a huge Merc and I felt safe right away. There was an ice chest, with cold water which was nice. It was my first trip saltwater fishing and we had a blast. The sharks weren't biting, so Todd took us to another spot and we got busy quickly! I caught a 30-40lb tarpon, and my friend caught one right after I did. They were fun and challenging for me to get him tired enough to get in the boat. I can't recommend this man Todd enough. He's energetic and passionate about what he does. Thank you for all the videos, your help, and coaching me getting my fish all the way in. Hope we can come back soon!

Sharks were the goal, and sharks were what we found! Captain Todd did a great job of getting us on consistent action. The meetup location was easy to find, the boat was excellent, and the gear was perfect for what we were targeting. We landed 3 different species of sharks and both of the kids in our party can now say they reeled in something bigger than themselves! What really stood out to me beyond the excitement and adrenaline of reeling in big sharks was how Captain Todd kept the kids engaged the whole time. Our trip had a short period of slack tide where the sharks weren’t cooperating… instead of sitting around waiting he rigged up some light tackle rods and the kids really enjoyed keeping the rods bent by catching some extra live bait as well as some snapper and mackeral. If you’re looking for a fun family trip in Key west, with a chance to catch some really remarkable sharks, Captain Todd is definitely your guy!

Capt Todd put us in the right spot not once but twice. I caught two sharks in our first spot. We moved to a second spot at my request to catch some snapper and we did! Capt said his group the day before caught a lemon shark in this location so we threw out a couple of lines. As my wife was pulling in the snapper, I was busy with sharks taking our bait and running. We had three big bites, one biting through our steel leader and the other two snapping the 250 pound test line. They were exciting fights but that’s how the fish floats in the sport of shark fishing. The two sharks I did catch and land were amazing creatures to hold for a minute and then release and watch them slowly swim away into the deep blue. Being from the midwest, this was the experience of a lifetime—all brought to me by Capt Todd of Talking Dog Fishing of Key West.

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.

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! 🎣

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!

Captain Todd was very knowledgeable and knew right where to go to catch some giant sharks. He was on time very polite and a lot of fun. Within 10 minutes of throwing the anchor the line pulled right out with our 1st catch of the day. We caught 10 bull sharks and landed 8 of them. Captain Todd took family photos with our phones and now we lifetime of memories. The sunset photos were amazing. Todd made sure that the hooks were baited at all times and assisted with every catch. We definitely recommend booking with Captain Todd Fromm Talking Dog Charter. The Morris Family

This ended up being one of the best days on our Keys trip! Captain Todd helped my son and I catch sharks and other fish that were on my son's wishlist. I appreciated the customization of the trip to what my son was interested in trying to catch and the recommendations from the captain that made the trip a success. Shark and Goliath Grouper fishing was an especially memorable experience!

Through rough weather and storms Capt. Todd stuck it out to make sure we landed a 7ft bull shark. Very good Capt and guide, willing to do what ever it takes to make sure you are on fish! Great guy.
