There is 2 guides I know who come in daily with a limit of trout..and one has a 30 fish guarantee or you dont pay....(30fish is Reds and Trout)

I know this year I smoked several guide boats and they fished till 2pm and I was done at 9am...but they have done the same to me also....(I also dont have people to call me and let me know where the fish are)

But if you take a week of fishing by each guide you will find the higher number is none limits

didnt mean to say no way they catch 100 I can remember before the limit change and catching 100 but as far as catching that everyday dont believe it could happen considering weather and such Over 200 days on the water I avg 35-40 fish a day

I for sure aint argueing your point if anything I got your back here

Just gonna throw it out there, but I would imagine the '2 Cool Fishing' crowd is probably getting a kick out of reading the stuff that is debated over here also

'W' is jealous he is not a guide is what I get out of all this

HA.... I took the online part of the test and all I have to do is go the BR and do Coast Guard but I can make some quick money on days off but then I have no patience's to fish people I dont know and have to battle tangle lines and so forth....

I rather go with buddy's and split the gas...... My wife wants me to get it and i could make $1500-$2000 a week on my days off....But then i would be like some of the other guides who make a living and hate to fish...

I feel for the guys who spend all year on the water....Its a damn hard job to keep fishing coming day in and day out and still enjoy it....

By hunting season those boys are ready to leave that boat behind.....

I just dont want to get that away...

That is exactly why I am a retired duck and goose guide. When it becomes your job and baby sitting rich idiots that don't tip, you get sick of it real soon!! I am not cut out to be a guide!

Guiding is exactly that, some days it is great and everything goes right, but then there are those days that the big cold front comes thru fish got the lockjaw and if it was your choice, you would not fish, BUT those clients are coming down regardless and are paying you to fish. Those are the days that would stick in my mind = choppy, muddy water, north wind blowing, baiting peoples hooks, untangling, no sir not for me. 'Should have been here yesterday' just doesn't cut it! I enjoy fishing too much to do it for a living, kudos to those who guide though

I think everyone recognizes that Texans have kept Lake Charles afloat at least as it relates to the casinos and these folks do spend a bunch of money over here which is good for all of us. There are six camps directly near mine, three of us live in Houston.

Now if you hate LSU, all bets are off.[/QUOTE

You are a special case, everybody has one or two that are "special". You have to overlook some folks.

the problem isn't if they don't catch their limit, it's the laws that they push to protect "their" fisheries and "their" lake , they don't care about anything except their livelihoods and whatever they can do to prevent other people from catching "their" fish.....I have seen this first hand in 2 states that I've lived in and they succeeded in imposing ridiculous limits..it's only a matter of time before it happens here in La. , so be careful when you advocate for something that restricts other people's god givin rights, it just might come back to bite you in the butt.
