Trust me I have struggled with this many times. If you are local fisherman then your time on the water and read the forums. If you don't catch a YT in 10 years then you are not doing enough reading or you have not spent enough time on the water. FYI, I still have NOT caught YT on a yak .... trust me I will!!!!

If you have put in your time on the yak (for whatever reason) and you ready to throw in the towel or your are from out of town then call Dark Horse. If I was to go to the east coast fishing for Tarpon off a kayak ... you are damn straight I would look for a guide,.


Those "local" guys who paid a get a guide, I don't knock you, to each their own ... I am one of those few guys that are a glutton for punishment ...work, work, work and then work again. I caught my first legal Hali with no guide (took 8 months ) ... and boy did it feel damn good.

When I went with the dark horse, first thing I said was that I want to learn and shorten the learning curve. Catching a fish was extra. Although I didn't land a yellow, I learned to how to do everything ftom surf launch, to make baut, to areas to fish, to fighting fish, blah blah blah. Get a guide to learn so u can repeat the correct steps without a guide.

I agree completely with you Cadillyak. I'd be stoked to go out with Darkhorse. Also wish there were more guides like him. I need a lot of guides--not for me. I'm referring people to guides and have too many customers and not enough guides.
