How did you get started guiding?

I have fished my entire life and always wanted to be a guide. One morning I woke up to go to my normal 9-5 job and asked myself why am I not doing what makes me happy. I quit my job that morning and the rest is history.

What makes you different from other guides?

I strive to provide a safe, fun, and entertaining experience aboard the boat. Each trip for me is an opportunity to share my passion and knowledge with a new group. Whether you are a beginner or the expert angler my goal is that we catch fish obviously but you also leave having learned something new and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
