I’ve caught them in south Florida mostly under tree’s dropping berries with a purple/black egg type fly.
First I’d look into all your legal issues and expenses…
Set up a LLC
Get the proper insurance and licensing…(guide license, capts license, occupational license…pretty much specific to your state and I don’t know about Alabama)
The lodge might be a great idea but also a lot more liability and legal issues come along with it.
For pricing I’d look into your competition…who else provides a similar service in your area.
I’ve tied about 1200 flies in the last two months on orvis hooks mostly in the sizes you’re talking about.
Hey Brad,
I have my CCI and guide full time, Colorado in the summer and central Florida during the school year (still a full time college student).
The main reason I got the CCI is because I wanted to learn how to teach more effectively.
Sounds like a good class. Id like to take the test, but the closet place that i see it being offered is Arkansas. I think the FFF needs to make it available in more areas for people to take.
You just need 1 Board of Governors or 2 Master Casting Instructors to give you the test and workshop.
If you’re really interested I would look on the FFF website and see if there are any near you.
It looks like the kill was limited to the snook caught in open water.
I think that was the main problem down south in the Everglades.
Great work on the podcast…I’m subscribed on iTunes so I get them as they come out…but I really only listen to them when I’m tying which the last few weeks has been alot.
I’m probably one of the younger guys on this board I’m 24…when I started fly fishing in 1996 I can remember saving money to go to the book store and buy a new magazine.
Since high speed internet in the last few years I’ve probably only bought 4 or 5 magazines…and I think all of those were bought in airports.
I don’t have any problem reading online magazine like this is fly and like being able to search for more material on a given topic easily.
First off gheenoe’s are harder to pole than a regular flats skiff as you’ve found out already. I used to have a gheenoe classic, a little wider than Andrew’s boat but pretty similar design.
As far as an online article it doesn’t get any better than this one by Tom Mitzlaff.

Good luck, a little practice and it’s not to difficult.

I think you need a better spam filter.
All that said, the price for this Angler All-Star Game is ridiculous. Three grand? Are you kdding me? I’d hire any one of them for a day at top rates, top it off with a C-note tip and steak dinner, if wanted. But three grand?
Nice sales pitch.
