And from a logical point of view.... whose gonna shell out $$$ to catch LESS fish than they otherwise would? If charters did not provide access to BETTER fishing the business model would not exist. If you can find ONE charter that Advertises "Spend More Catch Less!" I will concede that the folly of my ways...

The spend more catch less agument above is exactly why the charter guys want customers to have to opportunity to catch 2 Fish I suspect......
There is Rec and Charter guys and then there is comm guys (many of which go back to Rec or Charter when Comm season is over) there are some great Comm guys and some that are horrible...there are some great rec guys and some that couldn't catch a cold...anyone can go get a charter license, but not all of them can be consistently good..I have many rec friends that can outfish charters...in fact, i have a few rec friends who get calls from Chaters asking them where the fish are....the good ones stay in business for the moat part but the bad ones don't, they just circulate through and try to make it, then drop out for a new one to come along...especially bass charter where you don't need a huge boat way offshore...
Off topic I know....but I just think we need to be cautious when making big generalizations with facts....
