Local Guide Program
Fish Roulette offers a comprehensive local guide program that connects experienced captains with passionate anglers. Our platform enables local fishing experts to monetize their boats and knowledge while providing co-anglers access to prime fishing spots and expert guidance without the cost of boat ownership.
What is the Local Guide Program?
Fish Roulette's Local Guide Program is a unique marketplace that brings together local fishing captains and anglers. Unlike traditional charter services, our program offers flexible service tiers, fair pricing, and a community-driven approach that benefits both captains and co-anglers. Local captains can monetize their fishing expertise and boats, while anglers gain access to local knowledge, prime fishing locations, and experienced guides.
How the Local Guide Program Works
Our Local Guide Program operates through three distinct service tiers, giving both captains and co-anglers the flexibility to choose the experience that best fits their needs. From premium full-service charters to joining a captain who is already fishing, our platform makes it easy to connect and get on the water.

Benefits for Local Captains
Turn empty seats into revenue streams. With Fish Roulette, every trip becomes an opportunity to earn. Our flat-rate fee of approximately $20 per trip means you keep more of what you earn compared to traditional charter platforms that charge 10% or more.
No need to change your fishing plans - our Adventurous Leader tier lets you monetize trips you were already planning to take. Set your own schedule, choose your preferred service tier, and maintain complete control of your fishing calendar.
Our dual rating system helps you build credibility in the fishing community. Earn reputation ratings from co-anglers and accumulate credibility points that showcase your experience and reliability to potential fishing partners.
Whether you want to offer premium guided experiences as a Professional Guide, collaborate as a Relaxed Companion, or simply fill an empty seat as an Adventurous Leader, our three-tier system lets you customize how you share your boat and expertise.
Fish Roulette isn't just about one-time trips - it's about creating a network of reliable fishing partners. Connect with co-anglers who match your fishing style and build relationships that lead to repeat bookings and consistent income.
Our Stripe Connect integration ensures you get paid reliably. Funds are held in escrow until 48 hours after trip completion, protecting both you and your co-anglers while ensuring a smooth transaction process.
Spend less time promoting your services and more time on the water. Our platform handles the marketing, booking logistics, and payment processing so you can focus on what you love - fishing.
Benefits for Co-Anglers
Enjoy all the benefits of fishing from a boat without the substantial costs of ownership, maintenance, and storage. Fish Roulette provides access to a variety of boats and fishing experiences at a fraction of the cost.
Select from three distinct service tiers to match your preferences: receive expert guidance from a Professional Guide, enjoy collaborative fishing as a Relaxed Companion, or join planned trips as an Adventurous Leader. The choice is yours.
Connect with captains who know the local waters, hotspots, and optimal fishing techniques. Learn from their experience and significantly increase your chances of success on every trip.
Avoid the substantial costs of boat purchase, maintenance, insurance, storage, and trailer fees. Our fair pricing model with a flat platform fee makes fishing more affordable and accessible than traditional charter services.
Fish Roulette isn't just about single trips - it's about creating lasting connections with captains and fellow anglers. Expand your fishing network and enjoy more consistent fishing opportunities.
Learn from experienced captains and enhance your fishing skills. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, fishing with knowledgeable guides is the fastest way to improve your technique and catch more fish.
Fish different bodies of water, try various fishing styles, and target diverse species - all without being limited to a single boat or location. Fish Roulette opens up endless possibilities for new fishing adventures.
