7.  How are you different from the other fishing guides?  What do you have to offer that is unique or special?

EXPERIENCE.  I've been at this since 1964!  You can do the math.  Experience matters.

Equipment.  Another advantage that comes with the years is nice equipment and a well-designed and furnished boat.  (My boat is specially made to my specifications).  The boat has nice, new seats to make your fishing experience more comfortable.

Personality.  Everybody loves me!  -  Well, maybe not everybody, but you can check out my references.  My guiding experience has made me a nice living, but the richest reward is in the friends I have gained through the process!
