Keep doing what you're doing. Thanks for showing up in this thread; even when you didn't have to. Everyone here appreciates what you do except for one guy who clearly doesn't understanding that it's fishing and hunting, not catching and killing (and you still helped the guy load up on fish). Stick around and post more.

I think it would have been reasonable for a discount on next trip, fish cleaning, like I said. But not a free trip. Never said that. You are listening to some of these clowns too much.
IF you are so damn hung up on this, why didn't you ask for it at the time? Instead you wait until you are safely behind your computer to dredge this up and bad mouth a mans business.

You should have told him to go spear fishing and threw his dumb arse over board.

If you would take a client on a fishing trip and not get a single bite, you would still charge the full price for that trip? You would have no feeling whatsoever that you let them down? Serious question.
How many charter trips have you been on? I've taken several where we didn't catch a single fish or didn't catch our target but I don't expect someone to work for free because of it.

He's been on enough to know it was in his best interest to pay the captain. He hasn't been on enough to know that it is a bitch move to criticize a guy when the fish were obviously not biting. He wanted a tuna catching trip. He probably goes on those hunts where you pick the deer you want to shoot, ride out to a stand and he magically appears for you.

Me and my buddies go with Billy Wells at least once (sometimes more) a year and we've never come back disappointed. He is a great captain and a fun guy, covers a ton of water to give you the best chance to catch fish. He also has condos you can rent right down the road that are super nice.

Obviously you butted into this thread where your post wasn't even relevant to grind an axe with someone who apparently you felt wronged you.

felt like he could have thrown a little extra in there since we didn't get a tuna bite but he was paid in full and tipped nicely as we still enjoyed ourselves.
Again, if this is what you expected/what you wanted why didn't you ask?

I guess that time I spent $3,500 on a charter trip in Cabo only to not catch a fish I should have hauled arse without paying.
