Hey, I don't need to book a hunt. I recognize two of their public spots.
GigEmAggies, you got a boat? I can give ya GPS coordinates to them. Beating them to their spot would be freakin' awesome...

He's not saying Cody is the guy. He's asking Cody's advice since he guides on public lakes

I took a guide to hunt public and did it twice and plan to do it again. I used Lance Vick who I found on THF and he guides fork. The reason for me was because I wanted a bull can and he put us on them. I don't have a boat and used his expertise on that lake to get what I wanted.
I plan to also do the same for my trophy redhead on the coast.
Not everyone makes bank and can afford 20k boats and high dollar leases.

To me this seems extremely unprofessional. What do you guys think? I know Cody Malone does quite a bit of guiding on public waters....what's your take Cody? Lol, I bet Cody will not answer that question. I have ask many guides that hunt public (including Cody), how they keep clients from hunting their spots, and never got an answer. But I always suspected you basically pick and choose who you take, you take someone that most likely will not hunt your spot, probably they hunt once or twice a year, and don't have a boat, etc... Not someone that hunts 30 days a year. And to your point about "there are no secrete spots", I see that comment a lot and it makes me laugh. Of course there are no secrete spots. You can look at a hunting map, and see where you can and cant hunt, so yeah no secrete spots, public information. But can I look at a hunting map and know where the ducks are? No, you got to scout it, that takes time and money. And you got to keep scouting because birds move with pressure. If a guide finds a spot holding birds, and the rest of the Barneys are not on to that spot yet, you can bet a guide is not going to just take anyone to that spot. Otherwise that guide is not very smart. He is going to take a client he can trust, or he knows does not have the means, or interest, in hunting this spot. I'm just applying some common sense. Guiding on public lakes (especially high pressure areas) is a flawed business model. It should be illegal. Hunting land is scares these days, it should be for tax payers to enjoy, not for tax payers to exploit and profit from. JMO!!

This is what you can call a self-correcting problem. If you want to guide people on public water but won't guide people on public for fear of what they might do then you probably won't be a guide for too long if this is your primary source of income. If you can afford to do it for fun then more power to you. That is what America is all about. However, America is also all about modern technology too so word of your poor business plan will spread quickly. Good luck!

So you freely admit that the guides have to spend time, money, and effort to find the best spots to guide and then say they shouldn't be able to charge for it. Nice. I guess guided fishing should be illegal too if it's on a public lake?

Only thing I wish changed was for guides on public fresh water be regulated/licensed like saltwater.
There are still some secret holes out there. Especially with the weather patterns the last few years.
I don't see most guys hiring guides actually figuring out how to get back to most spots at least for morning hunts.

Shouldn't be able to sell it, is what I'm saying, on public lakes. I guess guided fishing should be illegal too if it's on a public lake?
Public lakes can hold a lot more fisherman than duck hunters. You can pack fisherman in ontop of each other, can't do that with duck hunting.

I am on the other side of the fence as most on this board. I am not against guides on public. There are people that have to hire a guide. If guides were not allowed, some people would get left behind at no fault of their own. The most gripe I see is about bad behavior on the guide's part. So I say deal with the bad behavior, not ban all the guides.
