Thought I would share my bad fishing experience yesterday on the river. I was fishing around a small island when I noticed a boat coming towards be. Because it is such a small island I thought to myself he will see me fishing and move on. NOT. He proceeded to come in and start fishing with his client. I know he was a guide because he was actually close enough to me that I was actually able to hear him explain to his client what he should be fishing at this location. A little miffed but not to the boiling point I moved to the opposite side of the island. After about 20 minutes he proceeds to come around torwards me within 2 casts from my boat and dropped his power poles. That is when I spoke up and said I was fishing this side of the island why don't he go and fish on the opposite side. What surprised me was his response and his actions. He never said "Im sorry" but said "we will be leaving soon" and proceeded to make several more casts before he finally did move on.
I used to think that this kind of behavior was only reserved for tournament day but this was not a tournament. I was just out by myself trying to relax over the long weekend. Does sportsmanship and respect for others not apply to river guides? You sir, in your red and white Nitro Z20 obviously does not. I hope your client understands this and refused to tip you at the end of the day. I sure hope our paths do not ever cross again.
