    Inshore guide advice.... Have heard horror stories and don't want a bad experience

    Want to take the family out fishing and since Pier#r retired we have lost our go to guy! I know how to fish the area loads better after these trips with him but now it's on to a new venture.

    I need to have someone out of Ft Morgan preferably, good with kids, not going to nickel and dime me on the trip. I heard a few horror stories of guys pinching guest for extra money to cover gas and bait, not wanting a bad experience. Looking for reasonable price prefer trip between 4-6 hours.

    My girls have fished but will need some help. I want to bring my 6 year old, she goes with me a lot after channel cats, white bass, crappie and bream. So any advice.


    Any help greatly appreciated!

    The kids want to try fishing from a boat! That largely why we are adding this to the annual summer trip!

    Chris, your girls could show most guides a thing or two on fishing (i.e. CATCHING ;-)

    Thanks for the advice on the guides gentlemen. Making calls in a few hours....

    Pier#r the girls loved your confidence in their fishing, but are bummed to not get a chance to fish with you this year. They just figured we hit the pier or sand this year with you... Hope all is well. Best of wishes.

    They can still do that, just head for the pier and hope Mr.#R is there, then just fish close and he might even let you net his fish.....that is what I do, always like saying hello when passing
