Spend as much time on the water as full-time fishing guides do,
and you’re bound to stumble across floating objects. Most of
these things are nothing more than worthless trash, but every now

story of one of the most interesting, and I might add, most enjoyable
trips I ever had. It was with a group of …well…I believe they were

First off, let me say that I cherish every one of my clients dearly. Some I cherish when they step aboard, and some I cherish when they step off to go home. However, you probably have no idea what charter captains go through during some of these all-inclusive fishing trips.
