Ok, what kind of "guide" do you want to be? On Big Lake, there won't be a deckhand or intern. It is one guide on a boat with 3 customers. If you want to guide big water, then they do have a deckhand, but you need to be in Venice or somewhere like that.
It is not an easy life. There are good days and bad days. There are good customers and some are total butt's.
When someone pays you to fish, you are out there whether you want to be or not. It is not about you going out and catching fish, it is about your client's having a "good" day on the water. And, each group is different and you have to figure that out.
If you guide on Big Lake, you need at least a 22' boat, a USCG license and a LDWF license.
