1. Open Communication matters. It
is important that you provide the guide all the information they need so that
they will figure out what kind of fishing trip is best for you. Be sure to be
honest in telling the guide how much experience you have regarding fishing.
This will help them to know what advice and tips to give you so that you can
make the most out of your time.
2. Seek the help of friends and
relatives. Ask your friends and relatives who have fished and if not they may
be able to provide you with some referrals. It is better to ask them about
their experiences, the things that you need to do and things that you have to
look for in a guide. They may be also to provide you referrals of the guides
they have tried and found effective for them. This will be a chance for you to
ask if the guide they are referring you to has enough knowledge or is
accommodating to clients.
3. Browse the Internet. The
Internet can provide a lot of websites where you can find the best guides in a
certain location. You can also post messages and questions regarding the
website and they may be able to find the information you need.
4. Determine if your prospective
guide is licensed. It is better that you know that the person you are working
with is working according to the law. A licensed guide is also sure to be
relied on especially with the matters of integrity and trust. Ask the guide of
their name and phone numbers including the state-licensing bureau. A guide who
is not willing to provide you the information you are asking for is not worth
your time
5. Find out exactly what you are
paying for and how long the amount would cover. You need to know this
information for you to be able to manage your schedule before the fishing trip
and plan the things that you need to bring which are not covered by the payment
you made. Some include the price for lodging in the package while other guides
may charge extra for that. Asking the coverage of your fees will also help you
assess if the services you will get is worth the money you will be spending.
6. Get to know the guide. Evaluate
if the guide that you will be working with can get along with you. If not, you
will just be wasting your time and money. Fishing is a time to learn and enjoy
but if the two of you will not get along well, the whole trip might just be
ruined. Get to know the guide first before you set foot on the boat. Exert a
little effort to call the guide and make a small chat to break the ice and make
the two of you comfortable on the day of the actual fishing.
7. Also make time to find out how
long the prospective guide has been on his job. This will make it easier for
you to assess the level of experience the guide has earned in that field. It is
better that you choose a guide that has been in fishing for many years. They
are the ones who usually have the skills and teaching techniques that will be
of great help to you.
