First guiding experience (complete)

Great job, Chris... if you can guarantee results like that, I'll drive up
from Lake Geneva and we will go out!

Seriously..Years ago, I went SW fishing with a great guide (Jay Watkins) who
has been featured on a number of SW fishing shows. This guy knows his stuff!
He fishes out of Rockport, TX.

I had a couple of clients along and we thought we were going to be catching
the heck out of Speckled trout and Redfish. We run about 1/2 mile from the
launch and his motor quit. He didn't know what the trouble was, but the
motor wasn't going anywhere that day. He used his radio and gets a tow back
in. He arranges to use a fellow guide's boat that day. Same model and
everything. Boy were we excited.

15 or 20 minutes later, after transferring the bait and tackle, etc. .. he
was still trying to get the motor started in his compatriot's boat.
Suddenly..he stops.,, reaches down...and puts the motor safety plug back
into the console.....blam...the motor starts and we proceed. it was an hour
after our expected launch.......to take us fishing....

Crap happens to guides too. He didn't use his safety plug, the other guy
did it.... religiously.

Every day I learn something on the water.

I don't know much about it but i would think it would be a stressful
undertaking. There is a lot of prep work and behind the scene work. There is
the stress to preform and you are dealing with a sometimes the unpredictable
public.

Master of the obvious you are, and yes, having a library card does make me
Yoda!

"preform"
"a sometime the"

If he HAS a library card, he isn't checking out the dictionary...
