Mad respect for you fishing guides you boys out there grinding for the sure love of fishing :)
Ive been giving it serious thought lately and overhead is my biggest problem.. from hunting to fishing ive gotten my meat and gotten my trophys im only in my late 20s and will still love to hunt and fish but im getting into the give back stage of being an outdoorsman as soon as i have the money i will run a proffessional guide service all smiles even with the drunk guys the back lashers the cussers the clumsy rod overboard guys the squirmish 10 year olds the seasick guys bring em on i cant see me doing anything im not passionate about in 5 years. An i know im passionate about teaching and being on the water
Thank you for posting this video
True words
Good advice...thank you!
Great tips! Cheers!
I appreciate this video. I am working on getting my name out there up here in the northwest. I do have tons of experience on the water and lots of fishing experience. However a divorce took my boat so I'm a few months away from having another one. This is very good advice. I agree completely. Especially have a back up. I'm a commercial truck driver so I know if anything ever fell through I could have a job the next day.
I'm thinking about it because a friend suggested I should. Everytime I go out I catch at least a few. Even when some of the pros aren't catching any.
Excellent way to put it
Thanks for this dudes, Im in the ground stage of getting this thing going, got a decent 17’ refurbished boat that I put alot of work into, and a huge desire to leave the factory BS. Just moved to the Stevens Point area from southern Wisconsin where I was trapped by shitty fishing area (even though I made the best of it) so Im ready to put my heart and soul into this baby so I can leave machining and working for the man in the dust. Thanks for the wise words.
Thanks!
Did he just make light of Bush beans ? Those are fighting words Mr .😆😂😂
man i wanna quit my full time job and guide in MN in the summer and guide in FL in the winter. this is the true dream
Lots of good sense here - plan, work hard, be ready to make sacrifices, don't bs the clients. Perhaps some people are called to the ministry and some are called to be guides...
I have lakes in northwestern Ontario that will produce fish all day every day! Bass, pike, pickerel...
good guide
I’m 15 and I’m an amazing fishing guide
It's a lot like owning a bait shop. First thing I noticed was the better the fishing the more likely I couldn't take time to fish. Talk to a guide and then if you still are so bull headed that you want to try it do so but have a back-up plan.
Great video. I am think of starting an offshore charter business here in Texas at South Padre Island. The The CHG and RCG permits to do so are fairly expensive. Apparently they stopped issuing them in 2003. As a result, few vessels have these permits here. Do you think it is a good investment in terms of being able to offer offshore charters? Seems like I would have a lot less competion. Just wanted to get your thoughts.
New fan.
Let me know if you need staff. :D
Are there specific insurance companies that do guide fishing?
What if you didn’t have another job would you still have decent pay throughout the year? And what if you didn’t have the other job, is health insurance an issue for guides?
They're self employed, so they have to provide everything for themselves
How did you pan out tax wise the first few years? Writing off a big ol boat sounds nice
Spring and falls when hot kitchen all the damn fish

Don't you need a captain license to be a guide on a boat?
Depends on the water
