Looking for Guides - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well said Jim (Saba Slayer). I could be way off base on this, but I think that those that don't need a guide(or think they don't). My self included. Go out fishing with the confidence that they will catch fish and can figure out how to catch the targeted species. Those that hire a guide, either don't have the time to put on the water, need a boost for their confidence, are in a new area for just a short time and just want to get out and catch a fish (on vacation). More power to them. Whether you use a guide or not, there is no reason to bash those that use one or the guides themselves. They have a wealth of knowledge that they are willing to impart to those who wish to learn from them while making a living (or supplementing their income) doing something they love.
