My brother and I hired a guide to go striper fishing on the St. John's River a few years ago. The day started out with fog so thick you couldn't see 100 ft, but it burned off and we fished HARD all day to catch exactly ONE striper! He even fished past the normal time allotted, and when we got back to the launch, he said "Give me a 100 bucks to cover my expenses, I can't charge you guys full ride for this lousy of a day of fishing!" We gave him 200, and used him several more times over the next couple of years with great sucess.
