I'd have happily fished some if they were both all set, tossing a creature when applicable. We did catch a tree. A big one.
Fishing for squirrels? |

Location: Walker, MN | I don't cast unless I have one or two clients that prefer that I do, this is maybe 25% of the time. Never with 3 clients, and I have a 22' boat. If the fish are going on bucktails or topwaters (lures coming in a straight line) I would never. If we are trying to unlock some tricky fish, by working lures a certain way (rubber, jerkbaits etc.), I might cast off the back until we figure out a trigger. I have successfully handed off the rod to kids and ladies many times.
I don't sharp shoot muskies, but guides that do should never make a cast. Seems obvious, but I see plenty of newer guides doing it...three 12" screens at their feet and always casting? If you can see them, take a seat and let your clients cast at them. I prefer traditional muskie casting, it does sometimes require that extra line in the water to figure something out.
If your prefer the guide didn't cast, just let them know. |

Location: Central Illinois | Don’t mind having the guide casting. I think having the guide casting helps figure out what the fish are wanting that day. On several occasions had the guide move a fish with different type of bait. Gave the bait to me throw and ended up moving n catching fish. I’ve also learned a lot by watching how a guide works a particular lure. |
