I leave for Montana next week for a 7 day fishing trip. I have one day scheduled with a guide. What is the appropriate tip?
I know that in this particular case, the guide is not the owner of the business, he is an employee.

Snake asked:


I am wondering about how to become a pro bass angler, like these guys you see all the time in the tournaments with their sponsors and everything. I want to know the steps you would have to do to become one, also about becoming a guide. My dad was a fishing guide in Colorado, but he has passed many years ago so I am left with little information. So please give me some help.

-Thanks,

Jane L asked:


The guide on the fishing rod is positioned so that between the ones closer to the tip has a shorter distance than those between the ones further away from the rod. The distance between 2 guides are getting bigger and bigger from the tip of the fishing rod.
1)Why are they position that way and how does it help fishing?
2)Does the length of the fishing rod affect fishing? How?
3)What is the purpose of having guides?

Thank you for your time =)

Carlton I asked:


I have a 21 ft. center console boat which i just purchased. I have only been saltwater fishing with a guide and we used live shrimp, however, I am going to take a trip in about a month to the Louisiana coast. What type bait do I need? (please list witht the type of fish intended for) What type of poles do I need? I will probably go in a bay and in marsh land to fish.
