I took a couple snowbirds fishing today. We have had some recent
temperature drops and water temp has not fully rebounded yet so I
expected a slow crank bait bite. I was right. I'm sure glad I was
just fishing though and not guiding. (I don't guide.) My two
guests couldn't handle basic skills. One refused to use spinning
tackle and then proceeded to backlash a brand new Curado 200E all
day long. She was better than my other guest. He did use spinning
tackle, but he tried to lob cast a crankbait all day long like he
was lobbing a Carolina rig or a multi dropper bait rig. It was
painful to watch. I tried to help both of them throughout the day,
but its frustrating when they wouldn't or couldn't adjust their
techniques to what was working. Every time I caught a fish I
unsnapped the crank I was using and gave it to one of my guests.
One never got a fish all day. The other caught one tiny little 10
incher.

Neither had any accuracy or distance. It looked like neither of
them had an previous experience casting a crank bait. If I had
been guiding instead of fishing I would have felt like I failed
to show them what they had to do to catch fish. I caught 7 keeper
size from 2 to 4 pounds. That's pretty good for me for winter
fishing. I tried to tell them some points, structure, & breaks
that fish orient to or hold on, but I felt like my efforts were
wasted. These were both "experienced anglers" who love to fish. I
took them out because one of my good clients from my day job
asked me too.

Wow! It was frustrating. I think if I had been out fishing by
myself I would have spent twice as much time fishing
productively. 3 out of 4 areas I selected produced fish. I don't
see how guys like Willhide can do it.

I feel your pain Bob. I guided for 17 years myself and had many
days like you just described. Luckily, I've retired from guiding
and moved from Wisconsin to Tennessee. Now, if I wanted to guide,
I'd have to get a Coast Guard Six Pack License and I don't feel
like doing that...

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!! (How Clintonesqe)

You two 2-bit worthless $pamers have to be the most low-life, cheap
UseNet exploiting Whores of all time. I don't believe, for one
microsecond, your poor-ole-me my-$pam-is-failing BS!!!!

Why don't you two shiftless bums go out and get a REAL job, instead
of trying to sell your $pam here!!!!

You two should have HORMEL tattooed across your greasy foreheads,
and a $pam feeding tube shoved down your throat.

HH.


Of course you are a lying misdirecting sack of excrement. You are
the little child hiding behind your keyboard destroying this group.
Maybe that makes you feel like you have power, or maybe you are just
stupid. SPAM requires selling something.

I run 3 fishing websites. Www.Yumabassman.com. It is my personal
site and I started and run it 100% out of pocket to share and learn
about fishing. Www.yumaproam.com is for my fishing club. The club
has sponsors, but 100%+ of what comes in goes out to those fishong
the club. Www.rofb.org is the member supported official FAQ site fir
this

group. I run that 100% out of pcoket in appreciation for all the
people in this group who have taught me about fishing in the past.

I realize your are just a petty little self absorbed piece oh
excrement hoping to provoke a reeaction. You win. Do you feel good
about yourself now. You got a reaction.
