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 |
Jesus we didn't mean to offend anyone ! I apologize for being so insensitive as I was only teasing . I do hope you can look past your emotions and see the real point. 😊
Who was it that said " real " charters anywho ?
