I PRACTICE CATCH AND RELEASE AND DON'T USE LIVE BAIT. If you'd like to use live bait and fill your cooler with fish, I'm not the guide for you. I primarily use flies and artificial lures, occasionally chunk bait. We often fish in windy conditions, long distances and precise casts are necessary at times especially if we're sight fishing on a grass flat or casting near the mangroves. Practice well before your trip especially double hauling to avoid unecessary frustration. It will help greatly to increase your chances of catching fish.
