Thanks for your post Dave FFF,
As far as my income goes it is really none of your business but I have a full time job that pays alot more than you assumed my annual income is. I am new to guiding and do it part time because I enjoy sharing my passion for fishing for the PNW's Salmon and Steelhead with others. Guiding is not nor will probably ever be my primary source of income. I now reside in Washington but as you can probably guess have lived and fished in East Central Florida. I make semi annual trips there to fish for Snook and Flounder at Sebastian inlet and Grouper and Snapper out of Sebastian, Fort Myers and the Dry Tortugas. I have found that despite growing numbers of anglers that the fishing is quite good. As far as the legitimacy of your claims I call it like I see it. Good Luck-TBJ
