I've heard too many bad stories like this. Granted the conditions were not that favorable, a good guide would have some kind of a contingency plan for that. Livescope is not that easy to learn especially the first time experiencing it. It usually takes anyone 100 hours to get any level of proficiency with livescope. I think on your next trip talk to your guides before you book and find one that will spider rig or pull crankbaits. Wish you better luck on your next guided trip.
