Bink's Guide Service, 1702 River Ridge Rd, Norfork, AR 72658, US

HistoryHe said he had been thinking about some day building a fishing boat out of a comersarry mold and the boat was a big hit all the guides now use one about that size but it was too short so the boat builder Gay Rorie let me watch him build some regular boats the gave me advice as to how I could build my own boats and that's how my boats came to be they are five feet or 25 percent longer so now I have the only comfortable safe boats that size. Now my boats will safely and comfortably six customers and the guide. When people fish with us they always say how great our equipment is every time people come back it's the same reason we like your boats we catch more fish with you and your shore lunch is fantastic please don't change is the standard response when we ask how we can improve our service, is don't change a thing.SpecialtiesAbout Ralph Chatelain, Founder and Owner: When I was 14 my parents bought three miles of white river to subdivide into lots and sell them as a retirement plan so when people needed to see the lots from the water dad had me take them fishing in front of their new lots to help promote the sale. Little did Dad know I was being sold on the concept of helping people fish as a means of income and ever since it's the only job I have ever had for more than three months its now been more than forty years. Life has been very rewarding to think that people call me to go on their vacation with them every year. Some of my clients have come back to go fishing with me for more than thirty five years. When I was raising my family I worked as a dockhand as well as a guide till 1993 when I started White River Family Fishing. I knew that as a parent I enjoyed fishing with the whole family in the boat and soon realized that the common boats of the time were not designed for more than a guide and two or three people, so I asked the local boat builder to build a boat for me that was called Commissary boat, one that is used to haul camping gear down the rivers here. He said he had been thinking about some day building a fishing boat out of a Commissary mold....low and behold this boat was a big hit and now all the guides use one about that size but for me it was too short...
