Stan has been guiding for three years. He has developed a reputation
as a
personable guy who enjoys going out and catching fish and helping
other do the
same. We had a great day on the water; we caught some fish, I learned
what I
needed to be doing, but most importantly, we had a great day on
the water. The
whole experience was fun and it rejuvenated my confidence in my
ability to catch
fish. I simply needed a little help.
Although I am far from being an expert, I have been bass fishing
for a number
of years. I needed someone that teach me a new technique or two
and show me
a few new places to catch fish this time of year. I accomplished
both of my goals
fishing with Stan.
Guides serve a wide range of anglers. They can help you learn fishing
strategies, fishing techniques or proper lure presentation, just
to name a few. If
you have never done much fishing, I would strongly suggest going
fishing with a
guide a few times to learn how to fish correctly, and whether or
not you like it all.
If you do like it, then is the time to go out and buy your fishing
gear, not before. If
you wouldn't buy a car without trying it out first, why would you
spend a bundle of
money for fishing gear without knowing if you like doing it or not?
For the weekend angler, such as myself, you can pick up one or two
little hints
that might help you catch more fish. Serious tournament anglers
look at it like
this, how many times have you seen a professional sports team on
television
without a coach on the sidelines? Everyone can benefit from a little
coaching from
time to time.
Most guides have reasonable rates. We are situated near one of the
most
popular fishing lakes in the state. If you don't believe me, just
ride down to one of
the popular launch sites such as: Clearview Marina, Oak Cove Marina
or Midway
Landing, any Saturday or Sunday afternoon around 3:00, and watch
the weigh-in
from one of the many tournaments held on Richland-Chambers each
weekend. I
am confident you will see what I am talking about. Fishermen travel
from all over
the country to fish in our backyard.
No matter what level of angler you are, you can enjoy and benefit
from a day or
half-day on the water with a guide. Whether its sandbass, crappie
or bass you are
after, Stan will be happy to take you fishing. He will provide you
with all the gear
and tackle you need or you can bring your own. He also has special
family rates
for those folks that want to take a youngster fishing. For more
information, you
can reach Stan at 903-872-1746.
Until next time,
enjoy the Texas outdoors.
