Fishing Guide
A Fishing Guide – Learn Your Basics From A Professional
Fishing is a water sport that tops the ‘favorites’ chart among Americans. Many Americans take the time out at least three times a year to go on a chartered fishing trip to the deep blue sea where the big game is waiting to give them the fight of a lifetime landing the hooked Pisces.
There were days when fishing was a sport that involved using a bamboo stick and some strong yarn attached to a hook and sinker with an ordinary earth worm as bait. Today the sport has taken on the dimensions of a science and finalized by the art of an experienced angler, no matter what waters he may be seeking his game. The bigger the fish the better the fishing equipment you will need and the more the strength of the angler and the experience the better chance of bringing the fish in.
If you are just setting out into the sport of fishing, it is advisable to get yourself a fishing guide book from an book store. There is a lot to be learnt from books and talking to experienced anglers about the sport of fishing. You could simultaneously begin your sporting career in fishing by getting yourself a starter fishing kit. This could include an inexpensive fishing rod, this does not have to be the state of the art fishing rod, but a simple rod that will give you the feel of the sport. You could pick one up for al little as ten dollars at any sports store.
You will also be introduced to the many varieties of fishing hooks in the market. In the beginning you will not be able to decide which hook is best suited f or the fish you are trying to catch, but that will come in time. To start with get yourself a small pack of hooks for the smaller game. You will also need some quality nylon string for the kit. About 12 yards should do the trick for beginners. This yarn is wound around the spool of the rod and attached to a float or ‘bob’. The bob is in turn attached to a hook, which normally has a lure to attract the fish. Some natural lures like wasp, bees, and earthworms may need an additional ‘sinker’ to make the baited hook stay under the water instead of floating on the surface. These sinkers are invariably made of metal such as lead and are shaped like tiny pears.
The main lesson you need to learn from the Fishing Guides and your ‘guru’ is the size of the fish you are allowed to take out of the water. There are regulations that forbid certain size of fish being removed and need to be returned to the water if caught. Failure on the part of the angler to do so will result in prosecution, and ignorance is no excuse for the plaintiff.

How much should I charge as a fishing guide?
I recently bought a Fishing Boat and am going to get my guide license. I have a 16 foot aluminum boat with a 28 HP outboard. It’s nothing fancy but it’s comfortable for me and three sports and well equipped with downriggers and a fish finder. Mostly I will be trolling for landlocked salmon and trout on freshwater lakes. What’s a fair rate for a guide to charge for 4 hours of trolling?
I would say $50 is the minimum to charge but you should “back into” the number. How much will you spend on bait, gas, depreciation of gear, storage of the boat, etc. per trip? How much do you need to pay your self? Figure out EVERY little thing that goes into a trip including expenses you may incur on a yearly basis divided by the number of trips you plan to run.
