October 2007 was a great month for WaterDog Guide Service - the fishin' was good and my beautiful fiance and I finally tied the knot. So, for those of you wondering why I disappeared for a while during early October...yup! That was why! Well, but back to fishin - October 2007 was a very warm [...]
The last few weeks have been amazing - the weather has been great and the waters are just full of bait...and the predators are right on their tails. Things are only going to get better and better - it's time to book your october date now (time is getting limited!). [b]Nearshore/Backwaters[/b]: The [b]red drum[/b] bite [...]
Just a few of the new things I added this summer, among many others. Expect more updates this fall with more cool stuff... Who loves Quantum reels? I sure do! They have been a godsend to me after my previous favorite reel maker decided to make all of their products in China...and I watched their [...]
August - another crazy month. Yet again I was on the water just about everyday! A quick synopsis: Inshore/Backwaters: After a decent july, the drum bite really picked up in early august and continues to get better every day. Our average is up to 9 slot fish per half-day (all on artificials) - that's a [...]
July - In a wrap: what a CRAZY month! At one point I worked over 25 straight days and I only had 2 or 3 days off the ENTIRE month. The best part? We caught great fish all month - when it was calm and when it was blowing. A quick synopsis: Offshore: Weather wise, [...]

GREAT Summer Fishing! This May has honestly been the best I have ever experienced - just about everything has been biting! Excellent gaffer dolphin, tons of snake kings, good flounder fishing, excellent drum - you name it, it's happening! This is some serious big fish on light tackle - particularly the butterfly jig fishing (check [...]
5/16 - This morning I went on a last minute trip with my friend Dean Lamont. He wanted some company to break in his new engine and we ended up going Bonito Fishing. We left late and I brought 1 spinning rod, a 10 weight fly rod, no tackle, no drinks, no ice and NO [...]
What a strage year - that about sums is up. One morning it was warm and the fishing bad. The next cold and the fishing good. It was inconsistant, at best, and the bizarre weather did not help. Wednesday the 2nd was out-standing and many of us put more than 50 fish in the boat [...]
4/30 - A couple of Katie's friends had been asking me to take them out forever, and I could never quite get our schedules to line up. And, being that I was booked for the entire month of April, I decided that they could have the last day of April as their own. And we [...]
