Bill Kiene on Andy Guibord

[JohnS]

I have often seen posts in which Bill highly praises Captain Andy Guibord for his knowledge of the area's rivers. I spent several hours fishing with Andy yesterday. We went hunting stripers.....me for only the second time. So I can attest to Bill's judgement being good or way off..... he is spot on.

First Andy worked on some of the skills I would need to be successful like strip set (which I could never do) and different retrieval methods. Then he put me to work.

I think 15 stripers would be considered successful for a newbie like me. # 13 was a brute who didn't want to play with me. He hunkered down...... he did some very vigorous head shakes........he made two or three runs. After all that, Andy guided me into landing the 24" 6-8 lb (his estimate) striper.

Thank you Andy for teaching me those new skills. I enjoyed myself and had a really great day fishing with you!
