You’ve probably seen them: websites boasting “catch guaranteed!”. Sounds tempting, right? But let’s be honest — it’s marketing fluff. An empty shell.
Because no one, absolutely no one, can guarantee that a fish will bite, stay hooked, or end up in the boat.
What they actually guarantee?
That you can come back for another try if you catch nothing. That’s not a guarantee — that’s a do-over. And even then, it’s still a gamble. The fish have to bite. And no guide, no lure, and certainly no promise can guarantee that.
With me, you won’t get a catch guarantee.
What you will get:
The best techniques, tailored to you
Fishing on prime waters, at the right time
Premium gear: St. Croix, Shimano, Garmin Livescope
Honest guidance, no empty promises
And a fishing day built on insight, passion and going all-in
We fish the way it really is: unpredictable, challenging, addictive. No checklists, no gimmicks, no hollow promises. Just real fishing — with skill, effort and respect for the water.
So no, I don’t guarantee fish.
But I do guarantee a guide who gives everything — and usually gets something back from the water.
