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?

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.

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.
