The weather here in Atlanta has brought a lot of good rain and the water temperatures are hovering at around 50 degrees, if you weren't thinking about fishing before, you are just dreaming about it now.
Your fishing guide is the link between you and the fish.
If you are a newbie or a well seasoned angler, the fishing guide should be able to give you fishing information you did't have before. The fishing information may be how to fish or on the waters you are fishing in, but if they are in the fish guiding business they are 'chock' full of good fishing nuggets.
Who's your buddy
Your fishing guide is your friend, he is not there to 'pluck' the fishing and what you'd like to know, out of you. He or she is a human being just like all the rest, talk to them, let them know what you are there with them for. Your friends were strangers at one point, but now due to your conversations with them they aren't any more. Treat your fishing guide the same way.
To the fishing guide all anglers are different, and the fishing guide must wear many hats, to give the client angler the fishing trip they are looking for. So it is up to you to tailor it to your needs and wants.
Who's your fishing guide
Imagine the fishing guide is your teacher, and it is difficult for the teacher to teach someone who couldn't be less interested in fishing or in other words making use of them. If you want someone to just drive you around the water and not say a word to you, that is called a driver sometimes a captain, but it's never a fishing guide.
Some days the fishing is just plain not happening, in that case just ask your fishing guide to take you where the fish are, and work from there, casting and asking questions and listening to what your guide has to tell you. It's their job and they do it because they love it.
