I was cleaning a mess of big Crappie yesterday on my tailgate and had several people come over to admire them.
Then the questions started.
Did you catch them under the bridge?
Did you catch them on brush piles?
Where are the brush piles?
Minnows or jigs?
What color jigs?
How deep were they?
Can I just tie up to a tree, I don’t have an anchor.

I was obviously a guide as I was wearing a logo shirt and standing in the heat cleaning fish for folks.
If I am out on the lake I will often give up a pile if someone is close but not catching fish.
I don’t mind sharing tidbits of info to help other folks have a fun day on the lake but WOW .

How much do y’all share before you suggest they just hire a guide for a trip?
I book more trips with folks learning where and how to catch fish on their lake of choice than just a casual day on the lake and do my best to set them up to catch fish all year.

My last trip to Sandlin I let them take picture of my GPS so they could find my brush piles BUT they paid to learn.

It is hard to know where to draw the line as I don’t want to be rude to folks
