How can anglers find more memorable fishing experiences with captains/guides?

We're two young outdoorsmen in college who want to make finding memorable fishing experiences online a whole lot easier and help guides & captains stay in business. We are building a website guided by the belief that a great fishing trip should not have to be the result of chance.

We recognize that anglers prefer to spend their time out on the water. We don't want to take too much of your time. The following fishing survey is 12 multiple choice questions and takes 2-3 minutes to complete. Thank you!

I'm a:

Fishing enthusiast (I'm interested in finding a guide & learning, but have never fished before)

Beginner angler (I've been fishing for less than 1 year)

Experienced angler (I've been fishing for 2-3 years)

Veteran angler (I've been fishing for more than 3-5 years)

If a fishing outfitter has multiple boats or guides under their management, would you like the ability to choose your own boat/guide?

I would rather the outfitter choose for me.

I don't really care either way.

This would be great.
