Should a guide fish while guiding?

Well put!

I hope you didn't leave the guy a big tip?

I gave him $20. I don't think he was being a dick, he just didn't seem to know better.

i woulda been real pissed if i were you. i got skunked on a guide in FL once without the guide even fishing and I was still upset. not that it was really his fault because it was a few weeks before the tarpon roll through Boca Grande

If you're out in left field as to what the fish want....and he finds what they want...then communicates and STOPS! = I'd feel good, but if he continues.....aahhhh that does seem to be a little much...

Different industries but the same principle I believe...

I cook at a private surf camp in the summer (when I am forced to work) and rule number one is, do not go surfing at all unless the customers BEG you to come out. I could only imagine how pissed our clients would be if we were catching waves while they were sitting there bobbing up & down. :nonono2:
