1) If you wanted to hold the date you should have given the Captain a good faith deposit. People don't forget if they have money in their hands.
2) If you've been fising this date year after year, deposit or not, a courtesy call from the Captain would have been nice before he booked the others. As mentioned above, you take care of your long time customers. Faithful Captains as well as faithful customers is what builds business. It's a 2 way street.
3) If that 7th guy pulled the rug out from under you then maybe you should call him out man to man as well as the Captain and let the chips fall where they may.
Lastly, you seem like a level headed guy. Why air this stuff here?? Air it with the Captain and the 7th guy in private. Their responses (in private) will show their true colors and lessons learned.

1) The Captain told me to wait till January and I didn't give it a second thought.
2)My crew has fished every Veterans Day for years but,We only used this boat for the last 2 Veterans day trips, so I don't blame the Captain in the least.
3)I will speak to the Captain about what happened but I'm not looking to get into some big to do about a fishing trip with a guy I only met a few times.
Lastly I brought this up in this forum because I realize that there is two sides to every story. I wanted other peoples opinion on the matter. I'm not trying to defame 7th guy in any way. Obviously 7th guy doesn't feel he did anything wrong because he did offer us some spots. I'm sure at some point I will run into him and I'll bring it up in a civilized manner. I really just wanted to hear other opinions on the matter because I was not sure I had a right to be pissed.
