Dee was raised in Chicago with summer months and winters spent in Ontario Canada.  Her passion for fishing and her love of nature started at an early age. When most young girls were playing with Barbies and tea sets, she was eager to learn from her mother and father as she fished the fresh waters of Canada for walleye, northern pike, muskey, and bass.

The passion continued through high school and college. On every available opportunity she grabbed her rod and reel and fished the abundant fresh waters primarily in Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan.

After friends introduced her to the east coast of Florida, primarily the Space Coast, she tried her hand at salt water fishing.  Beach and pier fishing quickly became a new passion but something was missing. After several fishing trips to the area and falling in love with the opportunities presented by the salt and brackish waters, she decided to follow her lifelong love of fishing and made South East Florida, “The Fishing Capital of the World”, her home.

As her knowledge of the personalities of the different species of fish grew, she decided she wanted to get up close and personal. The best way to do this was to purchase a kayak, the missing link necessary to approach large fish in stealth mode.  After researching many types of kayaks, she chose Native Watercraft. These kayaks can get into the skinniest of waters where the Redfish like to feed. It also is so stable it allows a person to stand and spot fish giving them the best chance to hookup and land them. Of course the seat needs to be mentioned because of it's "comfort factor". It is as comfortable as any chair you will sit in enabling you to enjoy hours of fishing.

She found her true love. Fishing almost everyday, she has honed her abilities to consistently track fish movements and feeding patterns, but more importantly to keep her fellow anglers on them. Soon Dee's reputation spread locally among other kayak fishing enthusiasts to the point that fishing guide requests were being presented to her constantly. Sharing her expertise and abilities with others seemed to be the natural progression in her fishing success story, so Dee began guiding full time. Now you too can share the experience and embark on your journey to develop a new, or expand on an existing passion for salt water fishing. The water calls......Are you ready to “Catch the Thrill”?
