Gear that heavy is used to ensure that the fish has a better than good
chance to get in the boat. It's all about word of mouth advertising and
repeat customers. Some of the better captains have moved to Virginia
Beach for the spring and summer and in the fall they follow the fish
down to Florida.

That's a good point.

I preferred to give clients a quality all-round experience.  As a
rule, I never had complaints and 90% retention rate for clients when I
was really active in the business.

You'd be surprised at how successful a trip can be without having a
stellar day fishing.  I loved to get the clients involved in the whole
process - even to the point of letting them have a turn at the wheel
when conditions warranted.

Show 'em how to do stuff, different ways of rigging, sea stories (my
Mako story was a favorite told many times) - I looked at it as a total
experience, not just catching fish.

Most of us aren't messing with clients, but friends. A fishing trip is
successful anytime. It's even *more* successful if the folks catch their
limit of fish.

Catching and keeping a limit, does not make for great trip.  It is the day
on the water, and the total experience.  If I wanted fish to eat, I can buy
them all cleaned at the market for a lot less than I can catch them.
Probably buy them fixed into a nice dinner cheaper than I can catch them.  A
former fishing partner from Harrisburg, PA was your way.  If not a limit,
was not a good trip.  Even if we saw river otters, and beaver in the
Sacramento Delta, the trip duccess depended on limits.  Unfortunately
because of years and diabetes caused loss of a leg he no longer fishes.  I
fished a lake friday.  Kept one freshwater Coho Salmon as it was not going
to survive the unhooking process.  Did taste good with fried potatoes.

Go back and read. Catching some fish *does* make a fishing trip more
enjoyable. I've enjoyed myself when I got skunked, but enjoyed the trip a
little more when I didn't.

If you have more fun not catching than you do catching, I'd say give up
fishing!

You would be wrong to think that. I love fishing, don't really care if
I catch anything.. Ask Tom, drives him and lots of others crazy...

If it's more fun for you not to catch a fish than to catch one or more, why
take a pole or waste bait?

That's two of you now who don't seem to be reading before you jump. I also
love fishing. If I don't catch anything, I had a great day. If I *do* catch
something, it was a little greater day!

If you find that wrong, well so be it. I'm just wrong!
