Ronan's report


Thursday 23rd July, 2009

I didn't get to guide Jimmy Buffett because he visited a lodge I ended up guiding for before I was there. I would have been first to put my hand up if it had been possible because I'm a big fan of his music. Hughie McDowell the famous Irish guide (In NZ) got the job, but Jimmy was staying at a high end hotel in town and only visiting the lodge property to fish their streams. The hotel in town wouldn't even divulge who their celebrity guest was until the guide arrived to pick him up.

Hughie dutifully arrived at the right time and was introduced to Mr Buffett. The need for secrecy seemed a bit impotent given that Hughie still didn't know who the hell he was.... Country music doesn't get mainstream radio play in NZ and while the diehard fans all know Jimmy Buffett if you aren't actually "into" country music it's unlikely the average guy in the street knows who Allan Jackson is!

They chatted as any client guide does on 40 minute drive to the water and got him set up in his waders and gear before getting him onto the water.... The fishing was, by all accounts pretty good, but during the lull Jimmy decided to make some small talk and asked of Hughie... "So, whata ya'll think of my music down here???"

Hughie paused awkwardly... "Well, to tell you the truth I hadn't even heard of you until about 2 hours ago".... Hughie responded...

Jimmy smiled... and responded... "Well, you might be some shit hot fihsing guide, but I've never heard of you either...."

They got on pretty well those two!
