Meet Guide Dee Bees

Captain Dee Bees has spent years navigating the freshwater lakes and hidden coves of the Catskills, developing a deep, hands-on understanding of how regional fish move, feed, and react to changing weather patterns. His connection to White Lake and the surrounding Sullivan County waters is built on countless hours spent analyzing underwater structures, seasonal shifts, and fish behavior. For Dee Bees, guiding is not just about putting lines in the water; it is about sharing a lifelong passion for the outdoors with every guest who steps aboard. His extensive local knowledge allows him to adapt quickly to daily conditions, ensuring that whether the fish are holding in shallow weed beds or suspending over deep drop-offs, his guests are always positioned for a productive day on the water.

A patient, approachable style defines Captain Dee Bees’ approach to guiding. He welcomes anglers of every experience level, taking equal pride in teaching a young child how to land their very first bluegill as he does helping a seasoned fisherman refine advanced techniques. Safety, comfort, and clear communication are his top priorities, creating an inviting boat environment where guests can relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Catskills without feeling rushed. Dee Bees takes the time to explain the why behind every tactical choice, turning each outing into an educational experience where guests walk away with practical skills they can use on future trips.

In addition to traditional angling techniques, Captain Dee Bees is a dedicated master of modern marine technology, specializing in real-time forward-facing sonar. He uses these advanced electronics not just as a tool to find fish, but as an interactive visual guide for his guests. By showing anglers exactly how fish respond to different lure presentations on the screen, Dee Bees removes the guesswork from freshwater fishing and helps guests understand fish behavior in a way that traditional depth sounders simply cannot match. His blend of time-tested local instincts and modern technological expertise gives his guests a complete, well-rounded angling experience rooted in genuine skill and local expertise.
