Fastwater, one thing I'd love to do is run into a non-guide fisherman that has a sled that I could feel confident with... I mean confident in the actual presentation. Other than casting and putting bait on your hook, it's the captains duties to put you into fish and keep you in them yet not on top of them... I could tell you in 2 drifts whether or not you are one of these people I'm talking about.... I only know one guy that runs a boat good enough for me to feel comfortable off the tiller, but he's a x guide...

Presentation is so important for big # fish days... That's why I have a tough time giving up the tiller.
