Thanks for the information ... looking forward to more.

This one is one of my favorites.. sorry Capt but with all of the great info you provide ALL of my friends should watch this before we go fishing. Otherwise they need to watch it after I have not called them for a while after I took them!!!😂😂😂😂

[mikepritchard]

I loved this video. When I eventually get a chance to come do a trip with you, I'm going to review this beforehand 😂

[stampede]

Thank you for taking the time. I learned some new things. Worth the listen!

Capt CA over the years fishing with capt’ Jeff Fucia and capt Denni Bardwell out of venice i have made many of these mistakes but Im getting much better, your videos are a big part of my progress almost as much as time on the water with a guide and in my boat 😎

[captstephenflookjr]

I’m at 9:12….this is all way too true and should be a must watch video prior to booking a guide.

As i watched this video, I laughed, then grimaced, then frowned, and finally, laughed again. But most people learn from experience, and some have never been fishing, much less on a boat. I'm sure you know, these problems are not exclusive to professional guides, as I have often felt with these same issues for over 50 years with guest, and friends. After many years, I learned to have a frank conversation with guests about their experience level before we even put the boat in the water, and it has saved me a lot of grief, and money.

Well...I've been fishing for 40 years with guides all over the Caribbean, Bahamas and multiple places in the Keys...and I close my spin reels exactly as you describe, with the handle. No one has ever told me different. Between 15-20 guides...not one has mentioned it? Its kind of why I hate the tone of *some* videos like this - there's this assumption that everyone who does it like this is stupid or ignorant or cant learn or doesnt know better. I'd be thrilled to keep learning new things or a better way to do it!

But Its also why I can understand people new to the sport being afraid of going out with a guide for the first time - lest they break one of the 159 "unwritten rules".

That dock jump and fending with the hands have to be my biggest pet peeves in boating in general

I've recently subscribed to this channel, I believe the Captain has some great tips and information.
Unfortunately I find that the " top mistakes" videos and the " your doing it all wrong videos" are not helpful. I look for a positive message and positive reinforcement. Ultimately just GOOD information. Like the " modified Albright" video. I learned something. I've been on my fair share of back country charters, with just myself and a guide. Many were great, some don't seem to grasp that not everyone is a tournament fisherman. Hell some of these people were shoveling 4 ft of snow 2 days before holding a fishing pole in their hands. I find the most uptight charter captains are kinda burned out and just don't enjoy guiding anymore. Pack it in.
Folks won't get better at it if complaining is all you have to offer.

When people book a date have them watch this because most these things are just from people never being on a boat and are fixed as easy as them watching this

[RoyCormack]

This video is awesome hilarious! I think you need some serious patience to be a guide. Lol

[Humanist]

A pretty unique and a mind-blowing video

[Snookchaser]

Great video about problems most serious fisherman whether a guide with clients or just taking your friends or family member out.
A tool that could be helpful is an email to clients 48 hours before a trip asking them to send conformation back for the scheduled trip. In the email note expected weather conditions and a general list of what to bring; such as water/drink of choice, snack (i provide a small cooler for your cold items), medication if needed, sunscreen (no spray bottles), polarized sunglasses. Rods and tackle will be provided, if you have a single rod you would like to bring and or one small tackle tray please feel free. Please DO NOT BRING multiple rods, large tackle boxes or large coolers to the boat. I am looking forward to a successful trip.
Many clients just do not know so a written reminder can be helpful to both guide and client.
As we all know some will still not read or follow but most will.
You have a great channel and even though I am a well seasoned inshore angle I have learned and or been remind of quite a few techniques and tips.

[splitsandpens]

Here's one from this one future client's perspective. With my 60 years experience, what is expected and allowed? I've been chartered where the client never ties a knot, lands a fish, sets a hook, picks a bait or technique. Then there have been charters that were mere water taxis. Also, smoke through the keyhole? Toby Keith song reference.(Dream Walkin').

[bigadventure]

As soon as I finished this video went straight out to my skiff and took out the spray can of sun screen. Why did it take CA to make me realize how dumb of an idea it was to have spray sun screen on the boat. LOL.

[artificialslinger]

Im not a guide but I do take family and friends out. But my #1 pet peeve is REELING AGAINST THE DAMN DRAG !!! Ugh !!!! I can't stand that. ( Don't know how this one wasn't in your top 10 CA 😆 )

[joshmccoy]

To funny. Love the sunscreen. I've always hated the spray. I Couldn't figure out what the orange color fiberglass was for the longest time until I witnessed the sunscreen spray in the right sun light.

[MirrOlureManiac]

#8 casting the bank! I was guilty of this one for a long time. Now it's totally different and people ask me, why did you cast out there? Well, we weren't getting bites at the bank!

[stewoutdoors]

My # 1 .... Grabbing the dock or dock piling when I'm coming in. Seriously. Keep your hands and feet inside the boat at all times.
