No offense intended, but I noticed 5 advertisements in your sig.for good products and services. What up with that? And they show up every time you post. You post great information and share your knowledge. I truly enjoy your posts. But if you believe all advertisements belong in the trading post.......

let me clarify something. i personally have nothing against catfish guides posting adds on here, this is where the interest is. they are all great guys but when a topic goes south like this one has with comments that are out of line IMO and the guide brings up history like he did in post 18 or 19 without telling both sides of the story i believe it should have been locked and started over. as i said if you post in an open forum you stand a good chance of hearing someone elses opinion whether you want it or not. JMHO

No disrespect to anyone here but this thread should be deleted and re-written if people don't like the comments. I have no problem with guides posting here as we are their target audience but.... the "best deal on Lavon" should be taken down out of respect to the other guides on Lavon. If it's a customer stating that it's one thing, if it's the owner it's another.

If I were to get on a Paintless Dent Repair forum and state that I was the best deal then I would know that it would ruffle some feathers. Even though I may truely feel that way, I have never done that out of sheer respect for the other techs.

Everybody has their own opinions of who is the best and I'm not gonna take sides on that as I have never fished Lavon. Just think it should be said by the customer and not the owner on an open forum

Lock it down and start over

Don't lock this thread down!!! do you realize how good this thread is for his buisiness! For all we know the capt. is a genius. He may have staged this whole controversy.

Good luck Capt!

I don’t know why anyone would begrudge an old man from trying to pay his own way in the world by taking a few people fishing. I have never clamed to be the best fisherman on the lake or know all the tricks. Most every thing I know I learned from someone else. I have had some fantastic anglers on my boat. Every trip is a learning experience for me. I have found that if I pay attention I can probable learn SOMETHING from ANYONE.

I do enjoy fishing but I’d rather see a kid, or anyone hang the biggest fish they have ever caught. When that fish breaks the surface the first time and everyone on the boat begins to scream…..that is when I get my best rush. I did say I had the best deal on Lavon. Sorry if that offended anyone. I will raise prices to $50.00. Now I no longer have the best deal on Lavon. Thanks everyone for your input.

Well alright! That's more like it! Make it $60.00 and I'm in!



( no, but seriously been thinking which friends to gather up for a trip. Sounds like a great time with a great guy)

I was agreeing with Tom. Get on the open catfishing forum and take the good with the bad.

It’s all good guys. Let’s all just try to get along. Now let’s all go catch some fish.
