Doug's time on the circuit, traveling the United States for 10 years fishing tournaments, has helped him develop not only skills in the sport of angling, but also in professionalism, customer service, appreciation, and wisdom of all that is involved in the sport.

Doug has an exclusive, 20+ year relationship with Emerald Point.  He provides door to dock service for the clients that lodge there.

Doug is known as one of the most respected fishing guides on Lake Lanier, and his time on the lake, (well over 300 days each year) as well as his long term-repeat customers back that reputation.  Doug has clients that go back more than 20 years!

HIs goal each day is to witness "that look" on his clients' face when they bring in their catch.  The satisfaction he receives in knowing his job brings joy, and a relaxing time away from the stresses of every day life is paramount in his day.  Doug places customer satisfaction at the top of his list.
