Thanks for the encouragement, Bob. I know some guys are against using guides because it sounds like cheating. I understand that point of view, but when you've been out 25 times and only hooked up once (and lost) a year ago, it's tough to develop experience. The good thing about those 25 trips is that with a buddy's tip, I'm able to limit on reds most days, so time has not been wasted.
