Who cares about live bait or artificial especially when its your livelihood? I would think that making clients happy would be the most important thing first. Using live bait may mean getting off the water quicker if bad weather is supposed to roll in later in the day for instance. A guide may choose to use live bait for a bunch of reasons. At the end of the day, fishing is about catching fish. Now having said that I prefer to not have to use live bait as I don't like the hassle. I understand that W's argument is mostly about the skill and sport of using artificial but at the end of the day to each his own I recon.
