You need to find a niche in guiding. This state is inundated with trout fishing guides who also catch redfish. The ziplock bag fishermen you will be fishing with will insist on a limit and fast. That sort of pressure can't be fun for the man who is at their beck and call. I have met almost all the fly fishing guides in this state and the beauty of this gig is the fishermen have a different mentality. It is all catch and release in my business and that is one less stress I hope to have when I get my license here in a few months. Just throwing that out there. I also have a full time job with LSU and a college degree. So, the staying in school thing is a great idea considering the guiding business fluctuates so badly. If you want a hobby that you can make some extra money at I would keep up the photography, you seem to have an eye for it and there won't be any jackasses on your boat telling you they need a limit.
