Wolf and Fish-n-Skins, I happen to be one of those ‘old’ guides you may be referring to. Pretty pathetic, not only are you hacking the new guides, but also the old ones. I often read the posts on the sportfishingbc.com discussion group with my afternoon coffee and this is definitely the first time I have felt I need to defend the industry. If anyone does a poor job of representing our industry, it is definitely you. You can’t be that great of a guide, if you feel threatened by an up-and-comer. I suppose both of you started out somewhere. Good on ya, to the blond haired kid who is enjoying the water and enthusiastic about everything he catches. The last time I checked it's a free Country. If someone wants to get out in their boat to fish because they love the water, who says they have to have a charter? I would much rather go out with a guide who loves the water, than a guide who is in it to make a buck. Or is it because you can't afford to fish if you don't have a charter???? Your jealousy only shows your insecurities. Do we have a couple of green-eyed monsters???
