I don't mind someone posting pics of fish and not giving any tips. It tells me that someone, somewhere in the estuary, found them. That's always been enough of an excuse for me to get on the water.

Exactly, i appreciate the tidbits i get and use their photos to judge my performance on any given day. And, I have never gotten a single ounce of grief for the puppy drum i usually have mixed with my other catches.

Here's the bottom line: Behavior on this site has caused money that could have gone to one guide to be deposited in another guide's bank account. Period.

Do what you want with that information.

If this site wasn't a valuable booking resource, then guides wouldn't put their contact information on every post.

All I'm saying is that it may be wise to consider how you present yourself to potential clients. Positive, informative and helpful = good. Negative, petty, insecure, and defensive ... even while having "fun" ... at someone else's expense = not so good.

But, as I said, do what you want ....

You have proof of that ?

I actually have about off my head 20 customers that are on here and pick up a few extras every year

People don't book guides because of Internet fishing forms I promise you that 110%

I have customers who fish with other guides and vice verse

Like I said before 99.99% of any guides business comes from word of mouth not saltycajun.

I been here since day 1 and nothing has changed
If your opinion is to book another guide like I said I will gladly give you a list who I think is best for your needs if you would like ! ( yes I would help you making zero off of it to get you booked with a great guide )

If most are like me we all have a contact log of customers and 1st thing I always as a new customers is how did you hear about me
And it's always from a friend or family member who fished with me ...

Saltycajun is not for thin skin fisherman!!

When I stop getting same customers year after year then I need to worry about what other think until then ,
Thanks for your opinion but I'm going to keep doing me ... Because it's me who my customers come to fish with !!

When people fish with me or chris they always have a good time even when fishing sucks ..

Like I always say ; you get what you pay for !!!

Same goes with Hunting , inshore or offshore
You can't make everyone like you or love you !

Not every guide on lake gets along but most respect each other and it has to take a real bad one to lose that

And I'm sure there are a few who don't like me as same as me not liking them but for the most part we still hold respect on the water.

( I will give you this bonus coverage )
There is a guy on here and he may or may not say who he is but if he reads this he will know right away !
He hated me on here because I would have fun and mess some with Texans , he got invited to come on a guided trip by a friend of his with me .
After the trip he said man I really didn't think i would like your short *** .... And now we're good friends and he send customers to me all the time !!

So don't always judge a book by the cover because you might actually like what's inside !!

We'll have a busy next 3 days on the water so take care !!

Exactly, I have a bachelor party planned later this year out of Heberts. Where hiring guides for three days 12 people. That's a lot of money. I won't even try to contest your ability as a fisherman. I planned on using your service even looked forward to finally meeting you, but I don't rub elbows or spend a lot of men's hard earned money with hipocrits. We will find an alternative. There are much more respectable guides on the lake

I can tell you right now yo better get on the horn if your planing on getting a good set of guides for 3 days in a row

Because most of us sucky guides don't have 3 days open in a row after April till October

so if you planned on using his guide service to begin with, what made you change your mind and hate W all of a sudden.. for as long as i been on salty cajun i think W has always acted the same.
