How did you get started guiding?
I was a kid with a boat and I met a guy on a bus, who was talking to someone about fishing. He was telling his friend he wished he could go fishing while visiting Florida. I then but in to his conversation and told him I could take him fishing. I charged them $100 for 12 hours of fishing. I then went on and obtained my Captains license and as you can see, prices have gone up since then.
What makes you different from other guides?
How much I care. Not only do I care that everyone gets home safe and catches fish; but I truly care that people go home more knowledgeable and with memories to last a lifetime.
