Finding guides in FishermensNetwork is a simple task.  You have a few options to choose from to hone your search.  You can use one of the three quick search boxes to search by city and/or state, search by body of water, or search by species of target fish.

Alternatively, you can click the "Advanced Search/More Search Options" link to really focus your search criteria.  You can search for guides by any combination of city and/or state, body of water, species of target fish, style of fishing, keyword, guide name, guide business name, price, zip code, or email address.

Your query will return all guides matching your search criteria, sorted by "Overall Ratings", which are based on feedback from the guide's previous clients.  This is a vast word-of-mouth referral system, one of which is unique to FishermensNetwork.

You can click on the stars to go directly to the guide's reviews to read referrals from the guide's previous clients.
You can get a quick overall view of the quality of reviews by checking out the Reviews summary:

You can click on the guides name or the "more" link in the summary to read detailed info on the guide's charter business, such as services offered, target species, bodies of water fished, locations, address, email, phone numbers, pricing, payment options and terms, and much more pertinent information.

If the guide accepts online bookings, then you can click the link to go directly to the guide's booking calendar to reserve a charter date.

From the search results, you can quickly and easily find the best guides.  Now, you can dig a little deeper in to the guides referrals by reading their "Reviews" page by clicking the stars link.

This is the guide's "Reviews" page where you can get a complete picture of the guide's referrals from their previous clients.  You can clearly see their lifetime ratings (the aggregate of all individual reviews/referrals), and their ratings for the previous 6-months.

Additionally, you can read any individual review/referral from the guide's previous clients.

You can use the tabs to further navigate a particular guide's information, including detailed guide and charter business information ("Guide Information" link) and the guide's pricing and availability ("Pricing & Availability" link).  You can also submit a review for this guide by clicking the "Write a Review" link.

Click on the link from the search results or click the link from the tabs to access the guides pricing and availability calendar.

Click on any available date to request a charter.

Simply type-in your name, contact phone number, and email address (only shared with the guide), then select which type of charter you would like, and finally, type-in any additional information and/or requests you may have for the requested charter.  Finally, click "Submit".  Confirmation emails will be sent to you and the guide.
