What is required to become a fishing guide in Texas?
I've done a little research on this already and, aside from skill as a fisherman, it appears that you need the following in order to be a professional fresh water fishing guide.
1) A US Coast Guard Vessel Operator's License ($!25)
2) A Texas Fishing Guide License ($250+)
3) An insurance policy that covers charter boats. ($450+)
Can any of you other professional guides give me other advice on costs and licensing or other requirements?
On the OV/6 pack license - How much does it cost total? Also, it seems like they want experience credentials. I have never worked professionally on a boat before. I just own one. Any additional light you can shed on the process of getting the coast guard license would be helpful
Add a OUPV/6 Pack "Captains" license.(You will have to take a test to aquire this)
Add "Accidental Death & Dismemberment" insurance.
Go check my "starred questions" on my profile. We just answered a similar Q a couple days ago.
UPDATE: I believe there are websites where you can actually take the test online, (not sure about this!).
Most places require you to take a "course", some don't.
Contact your local Game & freshwater fish Warden/DNR officer, Etc. They should be able to direct you to the nearest "school" or Test facility. The "cost" of the test isn't really an issue, (If 2-$400 is out of your "budget" then I suggest you don't open a Guide Service Business) !
You WILL have to study for the 6 pack test! It ain't "algebra" but it is a test that people DO fail!
Other than money, here are the REAL requirements for becoming a succesful guide:
1. Personality
2. Patience
3. Knowledge of your local waters.(VAST knowledge!)
4. A guide service boat- It must be able to "fish", (with comfort), 3-4 people and their gear, plus ALL your gear , which may include storage for "shore-lunch" and shore lunch apparatus, a portable grill, coolers, And everything else you can imagine to jam into a boat!
(I have a friend who is a VERY successful guide in FLA. He fishes out of a Bay Boat called a Carolina Skiff. He has the 24 Ft model (2380) & can fish (VERY comfortably) up to 6 people at a time! It's important to understand that a 18 FT Skeeter or Ranger isn't very well suited to Guiding. A Carolina Skiff is like a "floating dock" compared to a Skeeter or Ranger. But a "dock" is exactly what you want when you have a 65 YR old client with arthritus!)
Skill as a fisherman would probably come last in my mind.
However, "skill" in "FINDING" fish would be paramount to success!
I know guides who have been "working" for over 10 years and the reason they are successful ain't because they bring a limit to the ramp every trip! It's because they have a fun-loving, good personality. Although, if you don't EVER bring "fish to port" then you won't last either!
It's a razors edge you must walk between being a Captain, Comic, Cook, Character, & general "cut-up"! All the while hoping the "bottom line" will be met!
Good luck!
