Yep,....Chris's 8th place trout was tagged and released by the CCA and we released 3 or 4 .4lbers we didn't need!!! My trout I weighed was not going to make anyway....Had to pull hook out of gills!!! STOP Trying to make an agrueement you will not win this battle!!!

Whats a "signal fish?"

Actually, the resource comment I made referred to you saying out of state guides were taking money away from La. guides.

That being said, I would think it bother no matter where they are from or where in the state they fished!

And your point is???? Your right it pisses me off when a guide from another state has to come to LA to use our resources to fish because he cant catch in his state!!! I don't see the Mississippi guides on the other end.....All I see is Texas Crumb Snatchers bring loads of people on our side to fish!!! I would be embarrassed to have to bring someone to another state to catch fish!!!!! If you cant catch trout in your state why be a Texas GUIDE? Makes no since to me

[Reel Bender]

Just trying to get some clarification whether you despise just Texas Guides or any guides that do it.

So, let me ask you this, how do you feel about the La. Guides coming to Texas to fish under the same circumstances?

I drought very much that there is one fishing guide from LA that goes to Texas to fish!!!! I never heard of it or seen it.....Not saying it might not happen but I promise its nothing compared to other states...I don't believe a LA guide should travel out side of his state to fish with customers!!!! Only tournaments or events!! I deer hunt in Texas and pay high prices to do so!!! But I don't make money bring customers there either!!!!

[Reel Bender]

Thank you for the almost straightforward answer!!

[Reel Bender]

Dang hit the wrong button too fast.

I do seem to remember some La. Guides advertising Winter Spring Baffin trips, in the past. I think it was on that other site you were banned from.

You may want to re-think that one now, all things considered. You sure you want to be in Texas with Guns around?

i have fished on the jokas wild in the past as well as several other overnighters on the due south out at chandeleur. most definitely one of my happy places whether i catch a fish or not. hope you have a good time out there reel!!

Going on a trip in Sept with Jokas Wild...you guys have a good time, catch fish???

I've been on a total of 7 overnighters either on the due south or the jokas wild. There is usually 12-14 of us on the boat and it is always a BLAST!!!!! The food is always top notch whether its breakfast lunch or dinner, and all the captains and hands on the boat have been great on our trips. Get ready to sit back and relax, because they do ALL the work for ya. When you get up, you are fed while your boat is loaded with your gear, cranked, ice chest loaded with your preference of drinks.....all ya gotta do is get in and go. when you come back to the boat for lunch and dinner, theres a hand there waiting to catch your boat....you get off, and they handle everything from getting your gear from the boat, washing everything down, cleaning your fish, etc while you catch a shower and relax. As for the fishing, its hit or miss, but i've never came home empty handed. I personally quit fishing after lunch and went to beachcombing and exploring until 5 or so, then fish again till dark. When you get to the island, look for holes in 6-8 ft range where everything around is 3-4.......thats where we usually find fish when the tide is moving. They provide the soft drinks, but its byob. Hope you guys have a great trip, we ALWAYS do!!!!
