Am I reading this right?  Your going to pay someone to go fishing with you?  If it weren't for a 4 hour ride, you'd have a new buddy.

Why not just save $160 a week and go out fishing yourself? Pretty odd post in my opinion. Paying people to be your friend is a new one to me.

Solitude on the water does the soul good.

As the saying goes “some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God”.

Yup - I enjoy going with the couple guys I fish with at times, but I REALLY like going alone...... I wouldn't pay anybody to take me and I wouldn't want anyone to pay me .... I had a job for 40 years, I don't want another .....  LOL

Well you are offering money to have someone take you (and others) fishing.  And you are doing it on social media.  Whoever bites on that had better be a New York State Registered Guide

Back in the day, my uncle owned a marina on Sacandaga, rented fishing boats, etc. The lake could be tough to say the least so I got to take a lot of guys out fishing to show them HOW and sometimes WHERE I was fishing. I learned a lot from some of them and lots came back to rent a fishing boat. It seemed to be a win/win for everyone. One guy even bought a house just down the road from me and we fished together for years. When he passed a few years ago he left me all his fishing gear, those dam Loomis Rods as I would say to him. Any way you never know how things work out....h2l

To do this legally in NY the person would have to be a NYS Guide Licensed Guide for fishing, the laws are pretty straight forward on this.

Hopefully its funny how it can be a grind this time of the year for perch  yet during the summer you can catch an 8” perch on a 3/4oz daredevle or a 12” perch on a 5” senko

As a fellow guide my self and you being a guide too you should be pushing for this not bashing, it’s helping people who can’t get out and fish, taking a few dollars out of your pocket? Cry me a river what does our little bs certificate give us the right to? Be covered under liability?? Wrong you need insurance for that go gaff some lakers on lake George with your New York City cliental then complain that the fishing sucks if I was closer I’d be happy to do this a New York guide is supposed to be the stewards of the waters the rules are not blatant your just jealous it seems that your guide business is basically just deemed useless

What did I push for? I just stated that to get paid to take someone fishing in NY you need to be a licensed guide. People can do what they want, I really don't care if they want to deal with legal issues, that's on them. When did I claim the fishing sucks? I have never gaffed a fish in my life, moron.

I retired from guiding after 24 years. Now I work and fish in Alaska all summer, who's jealous now.

Good luck finding perch on cranberry pond unless they have dug the channel back out. But last I knew they didn't bunch of work on long pond and cranberry and they were super low and nothing could get in and out the channels

It is sad to see this subject devolve when it was meant to find some semi volunteers to take disabled people fishing. As far as suggesting you need to have a guide license to take them fishing, that is way over the top. I am sure if some guide took you to court for taking a disable person fishing for $20.00 an hour it would not go well when covered on the local news. Additionally, it may be difficult to prove the person was being paid for guiding and not just providing company while fishing or perhaps the $20 is just a contribution for boat gas or using my lures.

Is there a similar need in the Syracuse area for someone with disabilities to have an escort while going fishing?
