I think you owe this thread a response. Either just say you were joking (although not including an emoji is pretty silly if you were) or if you are serious then you should share your reason. Not cool to denigrate one of if not the most well known guide down there without some explanation. Otherwise just share things like that with the OP via a PM.

Agree. No place on a public forum for ambiguous shit talk. Did Captain Moon yell at you because you blew a 40' cast, @NBC ? Tell us why we shouldn't hire one of the best fly fishing guides in the Mississippi delta, please.
I'd be happy to elaborate. I've fished with him twice over the past three years. First time, we hired him for a full day and not only did he put the minimal amount of effort into guiding us into fish, he cut our day short because the weather forecast called for rain. Instead of actually checking the weather as the day progressed, he started the day off telling us the worst storm was coming through and we probably wouldn't catch any fish.
The second time, a different group of anglers I was included in, hired him for a three day stretch. He did not remotely try to put any of the anglers on fish. His new boat doesn't have a poling platform so he stood on the bow and ran the trolling motor all day and showed little interest in anything remotely related to catching fish. During lunch, he proceeded to talk about subjects that I will not go into detail on this forum as it would likely get me permanently banned. 100% not appropriate for any one, let alone a guide that is receiving good money to put us on fish, to discuss. I understand "locker room talk", but this was completely inappropriate. He also called the second day short as a one hour storm rolled through. Instead of waiting for it to pass, as it was forecasted to do, he pulled his boat out and sped home.
Apologies for not going into more details on my previous post. I'd love to hear if anyone has had good experiences with him.

It sounded like he got rid of his poling skiff all together? Either way, I do hope others have had better experiences than I. Additionally, I don't mean in any way to bash a well known guide, but I've got no other data points to pull from. With the amount of money spent on both trips, I expected a much more professional experience, especially from someone with his skill level and notoriety in the LA fishing world.
I've had good experiences with Brandon Keck. A few years ago, I made a Mardi Gras popper that was pretty neat and donated it to him. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.
