Not always the guides fault . I saw years ago pull up to a brushpile and fishermen said they are not biting . Ask them to hand me a pole drop in and catch one . Pay attention to the one instructing you not do what you always did . Some folks want to learn new techniques but know ahead of time how you will fish . Have seen times where we had to hand someone a pole with set length of line and a jig . Tell them to hold it and let us move boat to the brushpile .
