I let my guides know ahead of time that I'm not an elitist, and I expect to be able to resort to using bait and targeting "nontraditional" species if the day isn't serving up specks or slot reds easily.
I'm a rank amateur, and we almost always bring home a bunch of fish when fishing from a boat in coastal LA. The fishing here is just too good for excuses.
Guides should practice some of these phrases for customers:
Would you like to try for some bull reds?
Would you mind trying some bait?
How do you feel about sheepies?
I know where we can get on the drum.
This is not looking good for specks today, I think we can fill the cooler with gafftops in a spot I know.

I will never offer that to anyone because I'm not cleaning gaftop period !
