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

Wow great thread lol so fun to sit down after lunch and soak all that in.

It is kind of silly to say that you will never learn what a guide knows on your own. The good guys fish every day, and they stay out all day. They keep moving, keep fishing, keep trying to extract every bit of detail or every possible clue. Guides also do what all other good fisherman do: LURK.

Hey is that guy snagged on a rock? LURK
Hey did that sea lion just puke up a squid? LURK
Hey I think I smell a seabass fart... LURK
Hey where did you catch that yellow, and with what bait and in what depth and on what size line LURK LURK LURK
Hey Josh forgot to cut off his top-secret disco mackerel jig before heading in!! you damn sure better LURK
Is that TROMPUS? LLLLUUURRRRRKKKKK

When I first started I lurked so hard I nearly broke my neck. The need for a guide is inversely proportional to your LURKER status

5 pages of lively debate, and I still haven't read the ultimate theses on whether it's really "better" to do it with, or without a guide.

But I think that's cool - maybe everyone should make a decision for themselves?
And all of us should, regardless of what our preferred learning path was, stop trying to influence other folks - and respect their decision?

I think it's the time we close this thread - nuff' said.

We're fortunate to have pretty good number of quality local kayak fishing guides, and a wonderful local kayak fishery.

This is plenty enough of a pitch for the guides.
They don't pay the BWE bills.

Fortunately, just like other hundreds of thousands of threads, this one will also be available for all future generations to search and find the information, hear local fishing guides names, and figure out how harmonious of a view our lil' community has on this particular subject.

Okay, okay I'm going to give it up right here, right now free of charge. When I'm in La Jolla, I follow around this fish killing white boat with two hulls. They even hand out free donuts and beer! Thread killer Adi!
