live bait is for kids, rookies, or guys who don't know how or just never learned to properly fish with artificial baits, once you learn how to properly fish with artificial baits, you bait looks just as alive to the fish as the real thing so you dont need live bait.

You are 100% right , only time ever get it is with kids and most kids hate it , I think it's a lazy tool to fish IMO

I understand people that don't fish very much who want it but when I guide someone I rather than be lazy and just have them throw a cork with shrimp on it

I like to teach them how to fish plastics

Next spring when hopefully the bleeding stops in the oilfield, I'm giving you a call. I fish mostly plastics for the past couple of years since getting into kayak fishing. I'm learning at age 51, but sure would like a day of lessons. I grew up soaking shrimp with my dad. He didn't like plastics. Glad to hear of a guide that actually enjoys teaching.

I hired a guide last year (not W, should have looks like) with the instructions to the guide that I wanted to learn to fish plastics, I did not care about fish numbers, wanted to learn. Not only did he book someone else for my day, he sent me out with another guide and a bunch of live shrimp. I wasted several hundred dollars, I could of done that by myself.

Happens all the time , I always make it 100% know that if I'm booked and they want to still fish. I will only book them if I can find guide that I know will catch fish and is worth $550

We have so many guides who just have the title Capt and want to collect a check from other guides who hire them .

This to me is a big problem because I will never book the extra boat unless it's someone that I trust ( most important) and puts fish in the boat everyday

Hell I know several "so called guides who other guides still use " that's has not put 1 full limit in the boat and where almost in Sept
