Summary

There are many ways you can make your guide happy… like bringing them lunch or something to drink or wiping your F#%!ing Feet…but nothing will make your guide happier than you being able to make a good cast from the boat. Not only could this result in you catching more fish at the end of the day but this also helps your guide to preserve his soul rather than watch you fail, shot after shot.  Great anglers dont often practice their casting when its time to fish, all of that work has been done off the water.  Control the controllable to be a better angler. Avoid missed shots, be attentive and put in the practice off the water preparing you to make the shot…sometimes it’s the only one you get.
