Just for the record tom, i did not bring you up in this thread one bit, and being ridiculous is not really what this thread is. It was concerning why people charge below standard aka low balling if you might call it. I am simply stating, why charge less when you can charge more, numbers are number, math is math, add it up and if you charge 3/4 of what you could charge, then you are selling yourself short in the long run and working hard to make less money.
Seasons are short in this area, unless you travel around and have a full book year round to maximize your potential, the 200 max posssible days you can really fish up here are not going to really cut it, but that is just my opinion.. and like i said, this was general, one of your customers or friends or whatevers, brought your name up, no one else in this discussion did that.
