Hey Guys;
From a consumers perspective, you do your research, check out the reputation, and go with what you can afford. Years ago I went out with a guide that put me on to a trophy pike. I wanted to go out with his brother who I had seen on Izumi, but since he had been on the show he doubled his price. I've been out with quite a few guides over the years, and the guys who just did it for a few extra bucks, advertised by word of mouth only were always great at an affordable price. I was looking at going out on the ice with someone on Quinte this year but from what I can see now with all costs included I would be looking at $1000 for a week-end and in this economy very few of us can do that. I'm not saying that you don't desrve to make a living if that's what you choose to do, but be realistic about what your competiton will do, and respect their choice.
