I have fished for 40 plus years cutting my teeth fishing bass tournaments. Also have fished salt water during this same time and decided to become a charter captain! Inshore/Nearshore fishing. Specialized in catching Black Drum, Redfish, Flounder, and whatever wants to bite!

Got this charter for my boyfriend’s bday! He loves to fish and had such a great time! I tagged along and Artie made it easy and so much fun! He took us to the best spots and made sure we found fish. Great guide, Great boat and great birthday!

Great Trip!

VERIFIED

Me, my fiancé, my little brother (15) and his friend (15) booked a first time trip. And did it exceed our expectations. We had an awesome trip! He worked hard to get us to catch a lot of fish. We caught two small black drum and one red drum which was a keeper and a huge trout! We caught A LOT of croakers and pin fish. He helped us bait our hooks and helped the boys learn to cast. Overall we had a great time and will definitely do this again with hound dog charters. Thank you Captain!
