All joking aside 20 fish is plenty I think and I think it would help to create more quality fish in the lakes. Heck sometimes I only keep 10 fish so for a guide to set the limit to 20 that’s plenty. Good luck and let’s go get em because it’s getting close to that time.

Hey Screw This
If I am paying my good money for a guide to help me catch as many fish as the law allows so I can enjoy the fish fries for family and friends and he wants to back off the number SCREW HIM!

Well the pressure is on the guide to Keep UP with catching fish. That is the way it should be!! If it was easy they would have kids doing it!

I bet you don’t even use a guide often or never have.

My thoughts are similar. Unfortunately I had to sell my boat for financial reasons. Ohhhhhhh do I miss being out there catching crappie. Been without it for 2 years now. My wife and I REALLY miss eating the crappie I brought home. We would have crappie meals in some sort or fashion at least 3 times a week. I am a meat fisherman. When I’d go out I would keep around 10 to 15, knowing I’d be going out in another week. Or in my case when the wind wasn’t blowing too badly. Ohhhh the meals my wife would cook. And so I’ve been pondering lately on getting a guide for me and my wife so we could come home with 50 fish that would last us a while. But doggone it if I want to pay $350 + Tip and bring home 40 fish. And yes, I know a limit isn’t always guaranteed, but I’m making a point for the thread here. When I deer hunt, I’m hunting for meat, Not Horns. When I crappie fish I’m fishing for meat, not Knowledge, Experience, or Memories. So, as a boat owner, I was very responsible not to catch the limit, just cause I could. But now that I don’t have ANY way of getting out there to fish, I might like to pay a guide to go out and catch as many as the limit allows. We haven’t had crappie for two years. Wow, I would love to get back out there.

As far as the guides go. . . Bully on them for being pro-active! I just would want the guide I hire to help me catch the limit.

That’s a little disrespectful don’t you think after re reading it. I would look myself in the mirror and ask myself why would I say that. I’ve been in the trenches in their boats and learned more than I could imagine and if they want to go 20 that’s a respectable number and plenty of fish means more for you when you come along in your boat silly. Sir I honestly don’t think you know anything about what the guides go through or even hired one. It’s kinda like the guy that grips about the president elected but didn’t vote. JS

Here is a radical idea, How about the guides don’t fish? Just guide ?
I have been on some guided inshore fishing trips where I felt like I was just paying the guide to fish.
They were more interested in fishing than teaching or helping the client.

My favorite captain in Key West wouldn’t fish at all, but he would work his butt off to make sure you caught fish.

They work their [censored] off at least the ones I’ve used. Some was just instructional we didn’t catch a limit
but he taught me a lot and wasn’t going to charge me full price and there was one point where he said we can turn in and re book. At the end of the day had a blast showed me ins and outs of the electronics etc. Guides
are under rated. Again 20 is plenty I think and I’m going to start doing the same. JS

I don't understand why y'all are bitching if you don't like the 20 fish the guide has put on his boat don't go with him it's his boat he has the right to do what he wants. Quit being so greedy what's 5 fish good grief fish for the fun of fishing and the fellowship you have fishing with a stranger and the memories you make while doing so life is to short to bitch about 5 fish

Well folks we now see who’s hoarding all the fish now. Lol
Again sir your comments was very disrespectful in my opinion and
Honestly guides don’t care for your type on their boats from my experience.

Olefisher, This is about crappie. Sandbass are not really the concern

There a a good number of crappie in our trips also. The breed of fish does not change my stance that if I hire a guide he is working for me to catch as many fish as the law allows,
