Pfffft. Lets Bash him. Lol

Things happen in fishing boat motor fails,weather,ect but just to give you a Arkansas Boat ride is uncalled for should get your money back and put the word out!!!!!!! Hope everything works out!!!!

I hope I never book this clown. But then, I still don't know who it is or what lake/area he guides.

I sure hope this was not a popular guide with whom most have had positive experiences. I have been on only two guided trips, one in OK and the other in MS and neither of the two had any personality. I will be sure to ask for references next time. I never checked to see if their wed site had a place for reviews. Maybe that should be required, if possible.

If I had drove 9 long hours to go on a guided trip and put money down and had a guy do that to me and not refund my money In my neck of the woods that would be a good o'l country @#!whooping for sure. But if I was you I'd threaten him with a law suit and let the whole world know what he did. Talk to a lawyer bc if you aint careful about it he could get you for slandering his name.

A good guide should be personable and friendly to his clients...Go out of his way to help you catch fish...and take you as many times as needed to make sure you catch fish, take fish home and Happy, Happy, Happy.. If I guide someone and they don't feel I tried my best or they don't catch anything at all. I will take them again and again until they are happy or give them their money back totally. Every guide should end the fishing day with a friend and not an enemy. Anything else is unacceptable if your a Guide. Just my two cents.

I had a not so good guided trip in Oklahoma in March. One of the most respected names in Oklahoma Crappie fishing. He showed up one hour and fifteen minutes late. We put in and he never left sight of the dock. We just tootled around to about 3 places. My friend with me booked the trip and was wanting to learn how to crappie fish. He would pull up to the structure and catch the fish and then let us fish the spots. It was like he wanted to make sure we brought home some fish. I caught ten my friend caught one and the guide caught twenty five. I put my friend in front with the guide and I fished the back. We were very disappointed but I tried to make my friends trip the best I could so I didn't say much except I kept asking the guide questions trying to get him to talk. Didn't work.
