Options

The type that takes more pride home after catching one good fish that you "earned" and found yourself, then the fishing guide option may not be your best bet for a good trip. Many fisherman enjoy the chase, just as much as the catching and eating. If this is your case, then the guided charters will feel forced, and almost unfair to the fish you came to conquer. The best option for this type of person is a self-planned, hard earned, through the mud kind of path to the water. Whether there's a fish caught or not, the story of the trip will be worth the full coolers of the fishing guides when they get back into the wharf.

The fishing guide won't give you the trip you're looking for.
