Have a question

That doesn't sound much like retirement to me. That said, like in any business where you have something to sell, you have to know your customer and do everything you can to assess what they want in a trip and explain to them what your plan is.  What you described to me I would consider a successful walleye trip, but I grew up fishing Stockton and I know how hard it can be to get on the wallys.

I fished with a guide for the first time in my life last year. We fished all day long and didn't catch many fish. But I could tell he works his butt off trying to stay on the fish. It made me fill better about all the times I've gotten skunked. He charged us less but we paid him full price with a tip. I've now been fishing with him four times. I've learned a lot from him and that's what important to me.

Go for it lmtout.  Stockton needs a quality guide.  Let me know when you start so I can schedule a trip with you.
