Water Dog Charters
We’ve got fish with your name on them and can’t wait to see you catch them! Your guide, Captain Gabe, brings decades of knowledge and experience, including over 20 years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard. Gabe has been a licensed charter boat captain since 2002 and grew up fishing the same waters he'll be guiding you on.
You’ll be fishing onboard a 21 foot center console outfitted with modern electronics networked to a Minn Kota trolling motor to keep you on the fish.
We can accommodate four passengers/anglers. Planning a family adventure? Kids are more than welcome! The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is bring snacks and whatever else you want to be comfortable and have a good time.
Your captain will provide rods and reels, bait and lures and all other needed gear, as well as ice on the boat for your catch. After the catch, Capt Gabe will meticulously clean your fish for enjoyment at the table.
Is fishing not your thing? That’s no reason to stay off the water. There are beautiful sights to see, including unique bird species and dolphins. Observing what the area has to offer from the water is a special experience not to be missed. Let your captain do the navigating while you kick back and see the sights.
We are excited to have Capt Hanna join the team for the 2026 season. Hanna brings 14 years of experience as a licensed Master Captain and Boating Safety Instructor. Having grown up on the same waterways she’ll be guiding you on, she offers unmatched local knowledge. Additionally, Hanna is a certified SCUBA dive master and avid spear fisher. Her professional experience also includes teaching high school students natural sciences and regularly leading field activities in various subjects like commercial fishing, boat handling, marine biology, ecology and other outdoor vocational skills.
We hope you come aboard for a great day on the water.

Captain Gabe was amazing, he knows the area so well he put us right on the fish and even went the extra mile to make our trip the trip we wanted. He personally reached out days before with a text, and then reached out the day of to make sure we brought the correct gear and were able to fit what we had on the boat. Definitely are go to Captain for all our future fishing trips!

Captain Gabe was great. We caught flounder, and plenty of other fish. My son caught a lot fish so he was very happy!

We booked Water Dog Charters for our son's 17th birthday. It was him and 3 of his friends and they had the greatest time with Captain Gabe! He took the time to make sure they had fun and that each of them caught a fish. They loved the fishing, but also just hanging on his boat with him. His past experience with the Coast Guard let us know they'd be safe, and he worked hard to ensure the unexpected wind didn't lead to needing to cancel our trip. Our son has requested all future fishing charters be booked with Cpt Gabe!
Capt Gabe was great! He was very knowledgeable of the area and the tides and had some good secrets to catching fish!! The first spot we went to we weren’t having to much luck so he took us to another spot as the tides were changing and sure enough we got some flounders! Not only was he knowledgeable but he was also a very generous and genuine guy,with plenty of stories! We laughed and fished and I dare say we made a new friend. He also took us out a lil longer cause we were all having fun and he wanted to keep it up and that’s just not to common anymore! If you’re looking for a good Capt who knows the area,he’s your man!! My dad and I are glad to have met him and had that time together and he made it even more enjoyable! I would definitely recommend him for any of your fishing needs and he has a very nice boat,it was quick and comfortable and it looked very nice! He’s a helluva guy and when we come back you know for sure he’s our man for fishing and I can’t wait to come back,give him your business and I guarantee you won’t be let down!!! Thanks again Gabe I won’t soon forget your kindness! The world needs more men like him!!!!
This was the first time that my family and I have ever gone fishing together and this experience was nothing short of amazing! Gabe was an awesome captain that was so patient, positive and well-versed in helping our family have the best time. You can tell how much he truly enjoys what he does and it makes the trip that much better! Before we left, my youngest was already trying to make sure we can come back again next summer! Thank you Gabe for giving us an amazing afternoon out on the water. We will definitely be back next year:)
Thank you Captain Gabe for a great 4 hr fishing excursion. We all had a great time and all caught some fish. Capt Gabe made sure we hit different fishing locations to optimize the ability to catch as much fish as possible. I would recommend Water Dog Charters to anyone looking for a great fishing experience. Thanks Capt Gabe for a great time!
I booked with Captain Gabe for my 14 year old son and his friend, and honestly we ALL had the best time! Not only was safety not a concern given his extensive knowledge of boating and fishing, he was super laid back, informative, personable, and made it a really fun experience. The boys caught fish which made them really happy! Will definitely be a repeat client!!
Family of four with two kids had a fantastic time! Gabe is friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, and did everything to make sure we were all having a great time and caught some fish. We could have spent all day on the water with him! Would absolutely rebook on a future trip to the area and recommend to others.
This was such a great trip. Gabe made us feel welcome and was very easy to work with. He took care of me and my 3 sons, and worked hard to get us hooked up. We all caught fish and had a great day. Gabe was a great communicator before the trip, and kept us moving to new spots if we weren’t on fish. I’d definitely do this trip again on another shore vacation. Highly recommend! 10 stars.
Captain Gabe provided my children (7&5) with a wonderful fishing experience. His 2 hour option was perfect for us! Highly recommend.

I've been fishing and pursuing other outdoor activities my entire life. I obtained my charter boat Capt license in 2002, after 6 years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard. I went on to serve over 20 years with the U.S.C.G. in both active duty and reserve positions. I sincerely enjoy being on the water and creating new experiences for others.
