Danoinark Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 It is worth looking into Dan. My big question is, all it takes to get a guide license is $25 when you buy you AGFC license. If there was a CG requirement, I would imagine they would require you to show the cert at purchase. Who has this law stated? Is this a Corp of Engineers, Dept of Conservation, or Coast Guard requirement? I know the AGFC/MDC can enforce Corp of Engineers laws, but I dont know about Coast Guard enforcement. I think Phil or Bill B and the other guides who have the Lic can fill us in more..its way over my head as to what is required. You make valid points though. Seems AGFC would want some kind of verification that you were legal. Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"

Zack, As far as Beaver, Table Rock, Taneycomo and Bull Shoals are concerned the Coast Guard issues and regulates licenses. I believe Phil posted their website earlier in this thread, as far as enforcement the Coast Guard is also responsible.

Wayne SW/MO Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 I've always thought the state should have some basic regulations addressing boating experience, first aid/CPR and insurance. I think they owe that much to the public. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
ColdWaterFshr Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Aparently there has been a rash of unlicensed guides on Table Rock this summer. If you guide on the White River chain you are required to have a Coast Guard license. I was with another guide on a trip Friday and we observed someone being paid a fee to take people fishing. When asked the "guide" stated he didn't need a license and took off. The other guide called the Coast Guard and turned in the boat numbers of the "guide". The Coast Guard mentioned they had a number of complaints on Table Rock, including this boat number, and would be investigating. If you guide on the White River chain you need to have a license So who are the ones registering all these complaints to the Coast Guard? The guides WITH licenses? I betcha the Coast Guard has a special Unlicensed White River Guide detachment that is putting in some serious overtime to get this "rash" under control.
duckydoty Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Another requirement to use the Coast Guard License is to be enrolled in some kind of "Safe Way" program or random drug testing program that tests the license holder at least once during thier regular fishing season. Some of the so-called guides out there would have a hard time maintianing satisfactory results in that catagory........ A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!!

Your tactics are amateur. Go back to the drawing board. Come back when you can bring some game, Paul Dallas impersonator.

Pretty sure I speak for the majority of posters on this site:[ If you have nothing constructive to add to the discussion, just don't post. This isn't around the lake or any of the other "troll happy" boards. Believe it or not people here actually want to help one another, a concept that is most likely beyond you. I'm sure if I'm wrong they will let me know.
