Need a guide ASAP

Need a guide ASAP - 01/05/18 03:56 PM

We hade a trip scheduled for tomorrow morning on Tawakoni and less than 24 hours before the trip our guide cancelled. (Bad business in my opinion)

Looking for a new guide for tomorrow morning on either Lewisville, Ray Hubbard, Ray Roberts, Lavon, Tawakoni or Texoma. We have a total of 6 adults but can cut that number down to 4 if there are limited spots on the boat.

I know it's short notice but the cancellation was out of my control.

Who wants to make some money?!?!?

Man...I hate to hear this. We are full tomorrow or we would surely take ya. I’ve made a couple of calls to see if anyone I know can take ya.

If u get it booked, please let us know here! thumb

In the last three months we have probably had five or six different groups give us a call last minute because a Twok guide canceled the trip and the last 8–12 hours

I have a guide that could take a group of 4 tomorrow on Lewisville.

This was my trip and in my defense I came down with the flu yesterday. I've had to cancel the past two days, and that's something I've never had to do.

I agree with Littlewheel. Way to man up publicly. I hope this didn't hurt future relationships. Some things are out of your control.

Cancelling a trip to prevent 6 people from catching the flu sounds like a great business plan to me. Way too many handshakes and high fives during Andrew's epic fishing trips.

Go with Mike9582 (Houston Guide Service) if he has an opening. You will not regret it.

I know I would be happy if guide cancelled on me if he had the flu. I have been trying to avoid all the sick people since 1st of December. Get well soon Andrew.

If Jacky has a guy available I would go with him!

Good luck.

And I certainly understand that the guide canceled if he has flu. It's been going around pretty bad lately here in North Texas.

I fished with Andrew the day he cancelled on you. He was cold and sniffling. Said he was sick. So I can testify he wasn't lying about it.

What's bad business is not having compassion for someone. As a full time guide for over 20 years, it's go n to happen. Your boat will eventually have a problem. Or you just might have to cancel because the Wind is high and he won't risk safety or the toil on his investment.

Trust me, we all want your money. We don't get PTO, vacation or holiday pay. At least he didn't take your money and send you out with a rookie or a part timer. He did the right thing

Cant blame a guy for calling the game due to flu besides i really wouldn't want to fish with someone who has the flu just for personal preservation woot and i understand the group being disappointed also....no need in 7 people going to the doctor ,,missing work...spreading it to their family....more medicine...etc.......

Get better Andrew and way to expalin yourself openly flag

To be fair here, I did not know it was the flu and I did not use his name or the name of his guide service in the OP. To Andrew's credit, he did warn me the day before that he wasn't feeling well, he just never mentioned it was the flu.

I apologize for my comment.
