I overheard Jamie Hartman say he was hanging around for this upcoming week to guide on Rayburn. I guess that makes sense being they have a week off, but is this common? This would be a great opportunity for someone to take a guide trip with an elite guy.

He's been on Toledo doing trips for couple weeks now. It's honestly his only source of income if he don't cut checks

I saw Jamie at the expo and he said he's got 3 days open next week as of now. I guess it's a pretty good gig when you have an extra week inbetween events and can pick up an extra $800-1000.

They are hardly unemployed Seems like you gotta work at least 50 hrs/wk just to break even. It's almost not a good decision. LOL

I know some guides who get 600-700 a trip +tips for crappie. Much easier than trying to keep people happy with bass. Do that for 6-7 months and it's a pretty good living.

Crappie trips can be 7-10 people you do realize. It's not a bass boat with 1 or 2 guys. More people do crappie trips, it's cheaper per person, kids stay catching. It's big with families
