Merv, Dave ... I know you both and have fished in both of your boats ... I consider both of you friends ... In fact under different conditions ... If all three of us was in the same boat fishing We would have a Heck of a good time ...
With this said ... This thread is not going anywhere constructive ... I am locking it down ...
I think points have been made on both sides Of the issue .. As a retired guide I see Dave's point of view ... Also Merv as a Member of FTI, I see he's as well ...
So to all Members please understand ... Guiding is a business with a lot of $$ and work and study invested if it is done right ... Also FTI members who enjoy our site for info and good times ... It is always here ... And for a fact I know a lot of questions are asked and answered via PM's ...
So Tomorrow , Let's get up to a new day ...Rely on our fellow members for info through posts and threads ... and or PM's .... <'TK><
