If you’re a dude in the boat with your wife (who can compete with most men I ever fished with) and the Captain tells you that you cast like a woman, how do you think that went over. This was after he and I started the day almost coming to blows on the dock because I wanted to bring my own (small) tackle bag and he tried telling me no. And the insults to everyone in the boat continued all day. And the aforementioned moving several times when we were catching on every cast. I’ve paid for many a trip, fished with some of the top guide services all over the Gulf Coast and there’s a couple I wouldn’t let someone I didn’t like fish with.

Gotcha. Even if he was joking on the casting like a woman comment, you’d think he could kinda feel the tension from earlier in the trip and not try to be too cute.

I’ve had exactly one bad trip, and it wasn’t because of a rude guide. I used to fish with w/cedar edge a lot on big lake yrs ago (think they merged w/someone - the Constance family / great dudes). Anyway, was me, wife, and a dude that didn’t fish with them a lot (not last named ornrelated to the Constance boys). We caught one trout. Pulled up to Spicers and everyone else had done pretty well. Now that’ll happen every now and then, but the whole trip, I never felt a single oyster shell / reef on one cast (fishing artificials). Knew the dude was just guessing. Was tempted to tell him to let us go duke it out on long point w/100 boats. Anyway, I didn’t bitch, but Paul knew I was pretty pissed. Told me the next one was on him. I’d probably fished e/him 20 times by then. Came back down cpl weeks later, he tried to comp the trip, wound up just ripping the guide about 3 times the norm in just a normal / decent type trip.
