Anyone that would be interested in going fishing with me this year drop me a PM I can take up to 2 people now but would rather just have it one on one this trip will cost you NOTHING to go on just want to take several different people for the next few years. Fishing is going good around mid April until the first week of June. I have all fishing supplies, All you need to do is fish. This fishing Trip would be baced out of Albany NY.

Here in Maine a guide gets between $250 and $350 a day for striper fishing.
1/2 day would be 1/2 of that. This is per person. Some do it for the day for 1 to 2 people.

This is a small one only 14 lbs

Good fish.

Be careful with your advertising for fishing clients. In NY you must hold a NYS Guide lic and a USCG Capt's lic inorder to charge people money to fish!

Tight Lines!

I agree with Hunter. Here in Maine you also need the USCG 6 pack they call it here. Once you hit the salt water you are in different laws. You also have to have your boat depending on length with all of the propper saftey equipment.
Plus it has to be inspected by the USCG after so many feet in length.

The biggest striper I've have ever seen, came out of Lake Mead in southern Nevada, back in the late 70's. This fish weighed in at 57 lbs. When we cut it open. Seven whole trout slid out of it's belly.
Thats what I call fishin'. Eight fish on one hook.

Same goes for Washington. The Coast Guard has no mercy for offenders. You had better have your papers in order and your equipment correct for the size of the vessel.
It's not a requirement to have a vhf radio but, if you do. It had better be on.
If your charging clients to fish. They want to see the proper licenses.

If you fished an area that allows 3 fish per day and you land the boat at a marina where the limit is 2 fish. You had better have only 2.

All this is good info I wouldn't even think of taking anyone out with out the right papers or equipment needed. I am now in the process of receiving my guide permit, first aid classes, and ALL permits needed to take people fishing.

As of right now I do take people fishing but only for fun NO MONEY EVER
changes hands. This is a fun trip only.

Happy Hunting and Fishing.
