Professional and Charter Capts find fish for a living. They have to find fish for clients, or they starve.
They also have to drum up business by bringing a steady stream of clients....clients are not inclined to book a charter if the captain tells them fishing is terrible...


So what's a Capt to do when the fishing is poor, and a potential client wants to book?
Many Capts appreciate the value of future business and will say so, outright.

Some know that they need the revenue, and will be more diplomatic. I want folks here to understand that you can't blame them for that.... but at the same time, you have to learn to read between the lines in a Capt's or boat's internet site reports....
