i don't understand what the differance is between a boat limit in the salt and a guide handing off is pole, its still a limit no matter how you look at it, you paid the fee for a license to be limited to a number of fish, not every one is experanced in fishing that why some people hire guides. the state wants people to get interested in fishing to increase revenue but if they never get the chance to feel the thrill why would they support the sport, a guide is basically a sale rep for the state for those who have never fished befor
