Welcome
American Saltwater Guides Association
We are a coalition of forward-thinking guides, small business owners and like-minded anglers who understand the value of fish in the water. We realize that abundance equals opportunity for all, and that such opportunity is more important to the future of our fisheries than filling the cooler today.
