Fished the Stave today in the monsoon boy did it rain :-\Managed to hook into a few nice Does that still had sealice on them.Sturgeon roe:)The only down side to the day was the almost swamping by four guide boats  that blew by us as we were anchored ???Your shore lunch  was that important that you could not have slowed down?Geesh

[bentrod]

Not very professional as a guide to do that.  Unless you're anchored in the only runable channel, there's no excuse for swamping someone. 

[Rantalot]

we were tucked off inside the pilings on the right hand side but  still in plain sight they could have at least slowed down since we wee only in a little 12 footer?

Why take out the guide boat names? It was clearly marked on the boat I even know who the guide was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are an advertiser on this site

[Rantalot]

and that gives them the right to be jack asses?

[Rodney]

R, you mentioned one boat's name and three other unamed guidedboats. That in my opinion is unfair as all of them were equally at fault, so one shouldn't be singled out while the other ones remained unidentified. Secondly, not trying to suggest that your claim is not credible, but as the old saying, there are always two sides of the story.

Situations such as this is best dealed with privately. A better approach would be to send the guiding company an email with the complaint, so he or his employees are aware of their actions and hopefully changes would be made in the future.

Business owners can attempt to do everything right but it always takes one screw-up to receive bad publicity. I don't intend to have the discussion forum as a tool to generate it for my peers in the industry.

Just to give you an example, someone mistakened my website as someone else's when she had a bad experienced dealing with the other site's owner over the phone. She proceeded to email me and informed that she had decided to tell others in the industry not to deal with my website anymore. I quickly corrected her and had it sorted out before it spread like a wild fire.

The ethics of most guides I have met have never impressed me much.

I will send him an email but if it makes you feel better one of the other boats was blue and had MUSTAD on the sides

No, it doesn't make me feel better, the night is already good enough for me. People need to understand that when posts are moderated, it isn't personal. I have nothing against you, simply doing so based on how I would like the discussion forum to be run.

I'm way ahead of you, an email has already been sent to the owner so he may wish to reply or send you an email.

[Rantalot]

I sent him one and  no it wasnt rude ;DI just asked him to slow down a bit.

I have already responded to Rantalot on email. Here's a copy. HI Rene, I am very sorry, did not see you behind the pilings. I always slow down in the stave and only get on plain when i don't see any boats. The only boat I saw was the one anchored near the bridge which i did slow down for.  My boat throws a large wake which I am very aware of. Once again, very sorry.

[Rantalot]

I know the people on your boat heard me shouting?If thats the case and not one of the four boats that blew by saw us(Even though the boat was Yellowand we were standing) Then apology accepted.


 Sorry cyr it was raining way to hard to use the cell and by the time you posted I had already crashed.

[Rantalot]

Ghostfish He apologized so lets leave it at that.If he didnt see me then he didnt see me.I emailed him and suggested they have a spotter on board because that was four boats that blew by us and not one slowed down.
