The Best Lake Taneycomo Fishing Guides

By Jordan Schmidt


Fishing is an interesting sport that requires patience and a teacher. Lake Taneycomo fishing guides take people on a boat and fishing shows. They also know the habit and instinct of fishes, where they stay, what lures them and ultimately how to catch them.

People who are enthusiastic about this kind of sport are the best guides. They love the hobby so much that they are willing to share it to others. They know all the skills from knowing where to catch fish to scaling them to knowing the best dish for the fish.

If you want to be a guide yourself, you can apply your love and enthusiasm to the enterprise. You have to be a people person who loves the great outdoors. Sure, you need the fishing skills, and maybe some culinary ones as well; but you also need to enjoy teaching others about your favorite pastime.

To begin with the profession, ask those who are in it already. Fish catching is different when you are alone versus doing it with a group of people. Experts also know the best spots to bring the crowd. Also, they will know a few tricks in dealing with people and for critical situations.

Your priority should be the people you bring to the fish-catching trip. Because of this, learn first aid. You will be in the middle of the water and it is important to know this skill if ever something inevitable happens. Some, unfamiliar with equipment, may cut themselves. Some may get seasick. Your guests, knowing that you can perform first aid will be more confident around you as well.

Creating a list of favorite places comes over time and you will know what people like. You will also want to give guests a checklist of vital items. The right clothing and footwear go without saying. Do you need wading boots for example or rain ponchos?

Buy fish-catching gear. Stock up on fishing rods, hooks and nets. Buy enough for your chosen crowd size. Choose the ones that are most flexible for anyone's use. Know and get a supplier for live bait. Every trip will cost you live bait for people to put on their lines to catch fish.

Secure your state's required paperwork for the fish-catching expedition. Make sure your guests are also oriented and their expectations leveled. You may do this by making them sign a paper that specifies accident coverage, limitations, and your responsibility as a guide.

Once the trip is booked and underway, check your existing gear. Quality purchases will stand the test of time. Make recommendations for different experience levels so your guests come equipped with the right rods, hooks, and nets. Let them know what you will provide such as live bait. When all is planned and ready, get the required paperwork submitted for your upcoming location.

Once you get enough people to sign up, hire a boat with a captain. It will be best of you have your own boat as this is one of the major expenses. Remember though that you have to have a captain's license to be able to sail a boat.
