First, ask yourself if the guide you are considering is insured and if he possesses an approved USCG License. Next, ask yourself if the guide service you are considering is a full time guide service. Determine if this is a full time guide service. Now, this alone will not determine how good a guide service will be, but if you find a full time service, they are doing enough business to keep them employed all year round, and they have generally got repeat business if they can do that. The presence of repeat business indicates satisfied customers, and satisfied customers indicate quality guide services.

Check to see what kind of boat and equipment the guide service offers. If you only fish occasionally, it might not be practical to utilize a guide service that does not supply fishing equipment. Similarly, at the opposite side of the spectrum, if you fish on a regular basis, you don't want to pay for a guide service that charges you to supply equipment when you prefer to use your own.
