After too many weeks of waiting - I finally got my new trolling motor. Minn-Kota really came through for me and I was able to put a 70lb thrust autopilot riptide on my skiff. That is some serious power for my skiff!!! This past Sunday - one of my clients remarked that we could waterski [...]
9/23 - I went fishing in the afternoon all by my lonesome. The weather was gorgeous, the tide was perfect and the fish were biting. I filled a cooler up with big 15-20 count greentail shrimp and then went fishing - in two hours I landed 24 drum between 14 and 20"and three big lady [...]
9/20 - I said the redfish would be scared - and on Tuesday my friend Captain Scott Crocker and myself decided to break in my new Jones by chasin some reds in the marsh. However, we decided not to do the usual - we wanted to stalk tailin' reds in 6-12" of water. Reds don't [...]
Finally got power back this evening after roughly 24 hours without juice. Went out about 8pm last night and came on around 9:30pm. That is much earlier than Progress's Energy's estimated time of 11pm on Saturday the 17th. I applaud their hardworking line men. Last night was a treat - from 7pm on - it [...]
The Reds are scared, the speckled trout are shaking in their boots and the Ducks are terrified - WaterDog Guide Service just got another boat! This is my new second boat - a gorgeous little Jones Brothers Bateau. This beaut is loaded - wide gunnels with fly rod storage, leaning post, state of the art [...]

NE 20-25 knots and one heck of a mullet blow - and here in the house of waterdog, we're this bored of not fishing.
My heart goes out to the thousands of folks hurt in this terrible disaster Pre-Katrina, I gased up all my business-related tanks and hoped for a pretty labor day weekend. Beaufort was dead quiet but the waters were pretty busy with boats and fishermen. I felt guilty fishing in the light of such a terrible [...]
First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of reports lately - I've been extremely busy fishing - too busy for the computer! I also want to apologize to some folks for leaving your reports out - I lost severals days of photos but if you want to be on the sight, send [...]
8/3 - all-day - This morning I fished with James, Robin and their son Jackson. The ocean was slick calm - so slick calm that I had trouble even getting the bait to hit my sabikis! We started off playing with some huge sharks behind a trawler - cranking up two MASSIVE 7-8ft duskies (est. [...]
