There aren’t a ton of guides now that the tv show isn’t so popular. If your going with one, especially in Southern Coastal I bet I know who. Great guy and you’ll have a good time. If you’ve not setup a guide I’d encourage it. The gear is a little pricey for a trip you’ll make every 3rd-4th year at most. Cleaning one and all that fun after an all nighter is tough as well in the heat. The guide in that area is a very cheap near guarantee of success.
