Was great fishing with you guys!

I am VERY surprised to see a 2 star review since you told me that you and your husband had a great time…Upon seeing this review I called your husband, and he had no knowledge that you left a less than satisfactory review and also didnt know why, as he stated you both had a good time. I asked that he have you contact me so I could try and rectify the situation and make things right since you were unhappy, however I received no response. Had you contacted me before leaving a review, or even after, I would have gladly attempted to do whatever necessary to make up for the fact that you did not enjoy your time. Since you did not, then first off, let me correct you on your catch. We caught EIGHT (8) smallmouth bass, 1 bowfin, and 1 perch that day. I understand that yes, we had to work VERY hard to catch the fish we caught that day, and that they werent of the “size” that you preferred, however I do not have any control over what size fish hits my lure. As for the rate, you did not pay us $350 for the day, you paid fishing booker $70, and paid us $280 (pretty inexpensive fishing trip I would say). To elaborate on the pricing, you purchased an “In-harbor” fishing charter, which states clearly we do not leave the harbor and it is a much shorter trip. It is priced accordingly based on time and fuel expenses. A regular charter rate would have allowed us to leave the harbor and would have given us more time on the water to move and fish more aggressively. You cannot choose the option that limits your options, expecting miracles…we are guides, not gods…HOWEVER, although you paid for an “In-Harbor” trip, we knew the fishing in the harbor was going to be tough, so we traveled outside the harbor and went out of our way to put you in an area where there were large schools of smallmouth, at which point we trolled, casted, jigged, used both live and artificial bait, all while marking fish on the electronics and might I add while we caught at total of 10 fish we never saw a single angler around us boat or hook a single fish! I do not apologize for things that are out of my control, especially since for a good part of the trip, we were casting and jigging and you had full control of your rod, fishing technique, and bait selection (you seemed quite confident in your fishing abilities as you implied that you were an experienced fishing enthusiast). Based on your review, and the actual events of that day, I confidently feel that not a single charter captain on the lake could have pleased you, however if given the chance I would have certainly gone even further out of my way to try. Best of luck to you on your next adventure.
