Captain
Douglas Sauls

Member since March 2026 Orlando, United States
Background
Having been raised on the Potomac River, in and around the Washington DC area, being around the water is how I was born and raised. Evolving to a professional level, tournament fishing as well guided trips have all been part of my past. Teaching and passing on the skills that I've learned through a lifetime are now what motivates me to provide a quality guide service here in Wintergarden Florida.
Techniques
With a close proximity to the attractions in the Orlando area, extending vacation opportunities to the outdoors is my number one priority. Clients may want to do live bait trips, artificial trips, or learn on the water experience in our local waterways.
