question for guides

[rexford]

Hey guys I was curious to if you need a license if you want
to just gift a stranger a fishing day? I have wanted for a long
time now to get some friends together and make ourselves
available to returning troops for a day of fishing. Supply the
boat rods and reels. Do you have to be licensed to do this?


Thanks.
Mike

it for profit, so I would say no..But then again I am not a guide..

If you are not charging a fee and arent running a true guide service, no license required!!! Its basically the same thing as just taking a buddy out on the water for a day.

No licence required. Just make sure your boats insured.

No license required....and let me know when you do it....my boat will be gassed up and ready to go!!

Way too many times these good deeds turn into nightmares. Make sure you have a $300k to $1M policy in effect.

thats why I carry the level I do......never know when someones gonna have a problem.

[Ralph Harkins]

Please put me on the list and all will be covered for the people comming home.

Thanks guys! I am running down a few leads
on how to invite our fishing guests. I am really
excited to see all the helpful anglers. You guys
never fail to impress. Awesome!

Some of the guys on the fishsniffer board have been doing this.
Maybe you can get some ideas from their thread.

If you can get in touch with the various MWR people at the local military bases, they should be able to help you..In the Navy and I think the Marine Corps also the Morale, Welfare and Recreation comes under Special Services..If you were to contact the various Special Services Officers at the various Naval Stations you should be able to get all the support and assistance you need..

Maybe taking them fishing from a row boat or the bank might get them home sooner. Vote for a different President or enlisting yourself would really help them come home sooner. But filling up our gas guzzling trucks and boats will just keep them there longer. I know I'm gonna get pummeled for this post but think about it. Gas costs more than milk. Whoa.
