So being a member of this site, trying to gain some knowledge on equipment, technique, and target species is cheating the true fishing experience of making hooks out of bones until you figure out that there is a better way on your own. I get very few opportunities to fish in the salt, which is all I can think of doing. I wouldn't hesitate, if time money and opportunity lined up, to hire a guide. I'm such a dick.

Can't we all just get along

Really?? Way to knock a guys profession and downplay the effect of hiring a guide. Guess Darkhorse / Wade are are just photographers.

Your forgetting that the members are out fishing and trying to improve. Guess hiring a guide is bad but buying a high end kayak for 3500 and spending another 500 - 900 is totally fine. Just don't spend money to learn how to best use it.

You cheated at video games as a kid and still told the others you "beat the game"

we all have one and should try not to shit on other peoples art/work.

I enjoyed the write up and am glad to see there are still fish in lj.

When I enter a port where I have not fished before(and have little knowledge of the waters) the first thing I do the following day is find the most reputable fishing guide money can buy. Not only can you now navigate the waters safely but you can go out and catch fish using that particular areas most productive fishing rigs. I can now go out and catch fish safely without being stressed about navigation and wondering where the fish are. Money well spent in my opinion.

Which is perfectly fine. Until you post about it multiple times and try and tell the rest of us that "they're out there"

My point is not being decoded. I'm not insulting the guide service or anyone paying to be guided.

I'm not posting anymore. I'm going fishing

Hope to see you Saturday fishing for our HERO'S on the WATER.

dorado50 · 04-30-2014, 08:37 PM

I do know where your coming!. Believe me I know exactly what's going on here! I would /could post about the same things you have said but.........

I think your opinion is valid

The OP is a newer guy and very stoked(nothing wrong with that at all) but perhaps "over coached".

momo fish · 04-30-2014, 08:41 PM

So going to LJ next weekend, want to show me around and share some tips as I'm new to that area?

Guide or no guide I say bring it! No matter how you slice it, a picture of a big White Sea Bass sure does motivate us to go fishing.

Whether "they're out there" or not. I'm there tomorrow....Wind warning is gone.
