There are very few guides in South Florida that are full time. I am one of them, this is my only source of income, and this is how I feed my wife and two kids. I take my trips very seriously, and I do absolutely everything I can to make sure that not only do you come back, but you send other family and friends out with me. I can't tell you how many calls I've received from people in a panic because the fishing trip they've been planning for three months just got cancelled. When guides have other occupations that really pay their bills, they are much more likely to cancel. If you book a trip with me, we're going fishing. The only thing I cancel for is lightening, other than that I'm confident I can catch fish in just about any condition mother nature throws at us. If we are targeting a particular fish, and I know conditions are very unfavorable, I always do whatever I can to reschedule during your visit. Again, my goal is that you have a great time and become a return client. I've been guiding full time for seven years and almost 75% of my clients have fished with me more than once. Considering most of them don't live here, it's really something to be proud of.
