Waterdog Guide Service welcomes you for a great fishing experience exploring the inlets, nearshore, and offshore waters of Atlantic Beach! Captain Tom Roller has been fishing for as long as he can remember, and he’s happy to show you to some of his favorite spots and honey holes in the area.
You’ll spend the day on his 2023 28’ Contender 28T center console boat. The boat is powered by twin 200 HP mercury engines, reaching some serious speed and taking you to the fishing grounds in a matter of minutes. It can accommodate up to 5 anglers aboard, so it’s the perfect vessel to take you out for a fun day with a group of friends.
This is a fish-rich area with some of the best inshore fishing opportunities, so you’ll have your hands full throughout the day. You can target fish like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Sharks, Bluefish, and Spanish Mackerel in the shallow waters. Heading nearshore will put you in reach of Flounder, King Mackerel, and Amberjack.
The offshore waters will provide you with great access to big Grouper, Cobia, and Mahi Mahi. You can expect to have fun and some serious action, all while enjoying some of the most beautiful natural views and learning about the area’s wildlife.
There’s a variety of trips you can choose from that can satisfy any angler’s needs. Capt. Tom welcomes fishermen of all skill levels, and he’ll be happy to introduce you to the joys of fishing. He’ll provide you with quality equipment, including fly fishing tackle, and although he specializes in using lures, he’ll provide live bait if that’s what you prefer.
All that’s left to do is book a trip you like and join Waterdog Guide Service for an unforgettable time in North Carolina waters!

Awesome experience! Captain Tom worked really hard to make sure we caught fish and had a great time. He kept us out until we got our target and gave us a ton of knowledge about the local fishery. Light tackle put the sport back in fishing.

Half Day Trip (PM) on June 10, 2020
The afternoon wind was blowing about 18-20 mph. Tom got us to a spot where we cound drift for casting and then trolling. He worked very hard in tough conditions. He was very knowledable on local fishing around Moorehead City / Atlantic Beach. Great attitude as well.

As a lifelong outdoorsman, I am drawn to the water through my love not just of the outdoors, but for the conservation of our natural resources, and my philosophy that guides are teachers and stewards. Simply put, I am a guide because I want to share my love of the ocean and estuaries with others.
