Last week our family fished in the mazes of mangroves in Southwest Florida with perhaps the best guide in the area. The operation is nothing fancy — just a small boat and a lot (30 years) of experience. He's never had a website, doesn't use social media and is only reachable by cell phone. If you get voice mail, there's no personalized greeting.
