- In today's video Austin the founder and head guide of Dream Catcher Guides talks about the realities of being a fishing guide! Is it really all that it's cracked up to be? For a trip call 828-354-0250 or visit DreamCatcherGuides.com
It'd be cool if a client would allow you to film an entire guide trip and post it on here. I think we could all learn from that. From targeting the fish in different weather conditions, to how you interact and teach your techniques. On-water videos are always the best. We put pressure on ourselves just fun fishing, I could imagine the pressure you put on yourself trying to show someone what a good day of bass fishing feels like.
It can be a beast!
Good video! As long as you live what you are doing that is all that matters! Watching your videos and the way you react to a big fish is priceless! It shows you love your job! Hoping some day I can drive the 2 hours and pay for the guide service with you! I need to build some confidence on big swimbaits!
Let’s do it!
Stopped in and checked out the store this weekend. Cool shop . I'll be stopping in when I run up the mountain going to the the casino from now on. Keep the videos coming.👍
When you gonna be in the shop bro? Recently moved to NC and have property in Franklin and Hendersonville. I pass your shop all the time and would love to stop in when you will be there. Hopefully I can meet you soon. Until then, tight lines and keep doing what you're doing.
Hey Austin, I get it, One of my best friends Mike Breeding is probably the best guide on the Susquehanna in Pennsylvania and I see what he goes through, Love your videos and would love to book a trip whit ya one of these days. Take Care
Well said Austin. You're doing awesome bro! Any ideas when y'all may have some more DRT in stock? Specifically TK and K9? Tight lines 🎣
Keep up the good work man. Too bad your baseball dream got smashed. My Blue jays could use a guy like you. It happened to me with Hockey. Unreal how our lives are closely matched. Cheers pal
Wish I had starting following you sooner, when I had my condo at Chatuge, would have loved a trip with you.
We been on’em out there!
Being a salesman is a tough job. Been one for forty-two years. But ain’t it fun 🤩
Amen brother
Some people have lofty wishes, Not even realistic. You have to set expectations even though they might not like it. Costs- You have to raise prices everything has gone up. Gas is a huge expense right now. Fishing guides I know have a tough but great job. If your a good guide you can do ok money wise but it also has a bunch of risk. Especially with boat , truck etc.
You need a television program/ sell it and make it out of your trips. You don’t have to tell these people listening about money you make. You need to tell them about funny trips and funny people and stay away of the grind. You are one of kind. Let ‘em know about the most hilarious trips / give ‘em the trick of the week. Catch of the week, month, year. Invite them to the shop where they can but everything. Later and greater you are best on Carolina lakes.
Quality will always cost more. People get what they pay for. Just saying. If you can make 95%of your customers happy you're doing good. I guided on Lake Lure in the 90's and early 20's until they required a commercial permit. It was crazy. My mind set was how can I put Roland Martin and a 6 year old on fish. This was because all skill levels. I understand.
