MOMuskieHunter - 5/24/2008 3:21 PM Question for the muskie guides on the forum. If a client is using your gear and looses a lure. Do you require the client to pay for the lost lure? I've had some say yes and other say no. Thanks in advance. Nope, I had clients break rods and other such issues...that is just part of the game...It comes out of the guides pocket... | |||

Posts: 1270 | Not musky related but I see a lot of the boats that charter on the Great Lakes put a sign prominently on there boat that says "First Mate Works For Tips Only" Yet when I go to there web-sites I don't see any mention of that. This is in VERY, VERY poor taste IMHO. Some guy saves up enough to be able to afford a charter and then they get on board and see a sign like this! Now they are basically obligated to pay the first mate because the captain is either to cheap to pay them or doesn't think far enough ahead to put the cost of the first mate in the price of the charter. | ||

I had a client break two reels in one day and bouce one so hard off of my gunnel that it took a gouge out of it. A tip would have been nice. | |||

Posts: 3242 Location: Racine, Wi | reelman - 5/24/2008 10:44 PM "We carry an average of $140k in baits and rods every trip" Who carries $140,000 worth of bait and rods on a trip? Who even ownes $140,000 worth of baits and rods? Muskyboy does. LOL (kidding Steve). I don't think any guides (or many) would charge for a lost bait or a broken rod or reel. I've had a client (the same guy) break 2 rods in 2 years now. It's part of the expense on my end. I'm not going to charge him, although I may give him a rod duct taped together next time we fish. ![]() | ||
