    Default New Guide Service in Kansas


    With the sequestation looming ever closer, I am thinking about starting a crappie guide service to make ends meet... I know how to catch them crappie, I know the good spots, but I don't know too much about being a guide? Any help, suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated!

    Learn to put up with gewbers who smoke expensive (35 cent) cigars.

    Smile alot and wear cool sunglasses

    Don't let no 'nanners on the boat

    Get a buddy to provide Valet Service at the ramp (makes you look more professional to clients)

    That about covers it

    I would think you'd want to know about liability insurance and dealing with idiots. A friend of mine was a salt water guide down in Florida. And it seemed like everybody who hired him expected a trophy fish and blamed him for the fish not biting, bad weather conditions, etc.
