After reading the other thread, I've been thinking about many situations that would make me not want to be a guide. What comes to your mind when you picture a guides' day of hell?
Knowing going in that you will have rain 30-40% of the time
Knowing going in that he wind will not be to your liking 50% of the time.
My scenario:
Grandpa books a trip cause his grandson want to be a pro fisherman. On the phone you get the impression the kid is mid/late teens. They show up and kid is 9 and totally, off the chain wild. Grandpa is fine to sit on back deck and let you baby sit the kid, while gramps chain smokes and keeps popping a string of cold beers. Kid is wild with casts and snags. The minute you take rod to fix it, he is off to push/twist every switch on your dash and play bouncy house on your seats. Beer gives gramps the constant runs and has to hit the bushes 4 times before noon. 4th time he come back and has basically pooped all down the side and back of his pants. Kid has spilled his gatoraid on your passenger seat and floor. Gramps calls it a day and you head back. He doesn't think he should have to pay since day was cut short and the kid didn't catch fish. After taking $100 from him and leaving in disgust, you now have to clean the boat from both accidents. That when you find burns in carpet and tear in seat from gramps 50 keys on his side.
What can you see happening on a trip that would make you want to go work at walmart?
