re: Getting skunked on a charter trip

Why would you rather advertise . I brought you where we didn't see a fish. If you know the fish are there they just didn't bite one day, that doesn't mean they won't be hungry and bitting the next. A fishing charter is the opportunity to catch fish. They obviously had the opportunity if the fish were all around them. I'd much rather hear about seeing hundreds of fish rolling than nothing at all. I'm just trying to get people to understand that 90% of the charter captains do everything in there power to catch fish and they want to catch fish. They wouldn't be in business if they didn't. Also do your research. Call the marina ask the charter service about one of the other guides you may not always get an honest answer but if you asked me about another captain I would be honest. I'm not going to bash anyone over the internet. But know what to expect. I have guys that tell me they want to catch 20 different species. That's impossible even if I ran 100 mph and fished with 12 poles. I've caught my clients tons of fish but didn't catch one species and they bashed me on the internet . I just thank the guys that bash most of these charter boats have no idea the work load and pressure we are under every day. Just remember next time your are fortunate enough to go on a charter that it's the opportunity to catch fish and if you can't appreciate a day on the water away from work then don't go. Life is too short to worry about what you didn't catch, appreciate the fact you were able to go in the first place because a lot of people aren't that fortunate.
