TV Guide Directory
Find a guide in your area from our five seasons of filming.
Florida Sportsman and Shallow Water Angler would like to personally thank the guides that have helped us make our TV shows some of the most informative and entertaining on the air. Without question our shows remain topical and must-see TV because of the knowledge and professionalism of the guides we've used.
In doing the work to find the right person, to help bring our show to life, we've gone through a pretty exhaustive search, so if they've been good enough for us, we're pretty confident they'll be good enough for you.
