The $1000/week x 52 weeks formula just doesn't work. I'd like to hear of a guide that actually fishes all year long. Sure it can be done but not very likely. So in reality that $52,000 annually is probably a smaller number. Guides are not in it to make a lot of money I'll guarantee you that.

Do guides fish for the enjoyment of it? You bet they do, I've seen Frank out on the water plenty of times having a good time
