wait....are you suggesting that the charter captain with the 23 regulator(with possibly a stripers forever sticker) navigating around shallow structure so that his orvis wearing buggy whipping client can cast to fish with a fly or light tackle is not a "real' charter and the orvis wearing buggy whipper is not a real fisherman really fishing? (probably why these guys by and large and many others who engage in various forms and degrees of "real" charter fishing aren't seeking an exception or two fish alternative...they're not really "real")

but

a charter captain with the "6 pack" steaming around dragging umbrella rigs with a deck full of tommy bahama wearing hands free clients(except maybe a beverage) who may or may not have ever purchased a fishing license in their lives is the "real" charter with "real" fishermen? (and these guys by and large seem to be seeking an exception or two fish alternative and in fact "need" one for "perception")

too funny...... ya know..Orvis waders and a Tommy Bahama shirt might be a good look, need to consult Spence

imagine what the surf guy in a wetsuit swimming out to a rock on a stormy night thinks of those examples in terms of "real" fishing...if anyone deserves two fish for his efforts it's THAT guy!....just kidding


agree with bobber...I was pretty sympathetic to Buckman's plight early on and just wanted him to better explain because I wasn't seeing the logic...and I have become far less so... rightly or wrongly...it seems as though a segment of the for-hire population has succeeded in further isolating themselves over time rather than rally support...we'll see how it all shakes out
