I woke up this morning and decided that I am going to learn to fly helicopters. I am not going to hire an instructor, or talk to anyone who has flown a helicopter, or even read anything about helicopters on the internet. I am just gonna head on down to the airport, steal a helicopter and give it a go. What do you guys think?

To me, it doesn't matter who you are, or what side of this debate you are on. The fact is that everyone has had a mentor, coach, advisor or guide of some kind at some level. I could care less how someone caught their trophy, whether it was on their own, or whether someone told them to "drop this, right here". The only thing that matters is the size of their stoke when they smile for the camera. The fish is not the trophy, the stoke is.

Go fish. Hire a guide, don't hire a guide, I don't care. Just be sure to post a picture of your stoke. Tight lines...

It didn't feel less rewarding because you had instant success, unlike many who fish mired in frustration for months or years before figuring out how to target large game fish.

As you said, to each their own. I know for a fact it's money well spent if you don't have hundreds of hours to burn chasing birds and phantom sonar marks. Call the Darkhorse, Moby!

If your second post ever is trolling for a guide, there isn't much hope for the DIY approach.

I know I'll get blasted but:

A guide to me seems like someone helping you solve a puzzle: You solve the puzzle and get the reward but you didn't do it on your own.

And a lot has to do with money. There are rich, poor, middle class kayak fisherman and all in between. Is it worth $100-$200 for someone to guide you for a day? If you only spent $300 on a kayak and fishing gear to get started then a guide probably isn't ideal. If you start with buying a Hobie Pro Angler and only fish on the weekends it's priceless.

Different strokes for different folks!!

Dark Horse is a guide?
