Our Goal

All of our Crew members have the same goal, to give the client the best trip we can offer. Although not every day goes the way we want it, we will put 100% effort in for our clients. Another promise we give our clients is that we use the best gear from Seeker fishing rods and Avet reels on the Scallywag, to Tanglefree Decoys and gear on our duck hunts, we believe that the better the gear the less chance for some thing to go wrong. We always leave the dock with Safety being out number one priority, and providing a memorable and fun trip a close second! with out all our amazing clients Golden State Guide Service would not be possible.
