Who Fights for YouWhen Your Livelihood Is on the Line?
WE DO!
One court ruling or government decision can threaten your business, your access, and your future on the water. The Florida Guides Association fights for professional guides across Florida—protecting their rights, livelihoods, and the fisheries they depend on.
The Advocate for Florida Fishing Guides.
The Florida Guides Association is the statewide voice for professional fishing guides.
We fight for guides in Florida’s courts, before government agencies, and wherever decisions threaten their businesses, rights, or access to the water.
We also advocate for healthy fisheries, responsible management, and the conservation of Florida’s waters—because better lives for fishing guides begin with thriving waters and abundant fish.
What We Do
Fight for Fishing Guides
We defend guides’ rights, businesses, and access in Florida’s legal, regulatory, and policy battles.
Protect Florida’s Fisheries
We advocate for healthy waters, sustainable fisheries, responsible access, and science-based management.
Give Guides a Stronger Voice
We unite guides across Florida and represent their interests before agencies, lawmakers, and fisheries decision-makers.
