I might have took his reply as smart butt the way I read it. I didn't mean no offense to anyone that wants to use bait, it is just not my go to until I have tried everything I can. And don't mind going home empty handed trying to learn a new presentation of lures. I ment no disrespect to anyone that does. Cuz I have at times used bait.

Cause they know how to fish!! I would fire a guide before I put foot on the boat if he has live bait!! I'm a sportsman, anybody can catch trout and redfish with live shrimp. I've never fished with that man but he's never lied to me when I call him. And I believe he will continue to if I don't crowd him or his customers!!

If it's me I'm not your kids and I cannot find them any fish or hardheads. I will cast net for some bait. And find something 2 bend there rod! I meant no disrespect to anyone that sells or throws bait. I took the the comment wrong. As stated above.

I will however never step foot on a guideboat that starts off with bait. And there is a ton of them out there.
With a few inclusions of the three or four that I know that help me when I haven't been down there in a while and they will not use bait until absolutely necessary.
