Let's talk fishing!!!
 

Anglers, what's the one thing you wish #fishing guides would do more often?

Post reports like Capt Hoop. The guy never gives spots, but posts one hell of a report that is fun to read.

You hear him give reports good or bad. There are many captains fishing out of Venice and you only see a report when they catch. Really enjoy his honest reports

Man, reading his reports is like you were on the boat with him!:work:

Post gps coords. And log books wouldn't be bad either lol

I have fished waters all over the US coast with many different guides. Some I wouldn't ever go out with again even though we caught plenty of fish. Others I've went with have fished hard with all day and couldn't get a bite but I'd go out with them again in a heart beat. The biggest difference is personality. Even if it's a bad day fishing I will still be generous with a tip as long as I have a good time. Have a positive attitude and just try to put me on the fish, I'll catch them and if I miss one, its really ok.... I'm paying for the trip and don't care if you don't have bragging rights for the night at the bar with the guys. Bragging rights should be the fact I've booked with you several times over the years and recommend you to friends.

Good post LakenLady.

I have been on a Charter Tuna Fishing Trip and the captain actually hollered at me for missing a fish. That was the first and last trip with that captain.

On that same trip the captain was driving so fast through a small cut in the marsh that we (the crew) felt unsafe.

I guess I didn't answer the question but these are two things that guides should NEVER do in my opinion.

I agree..
