This x2. Its your business. Dont give away your work for free. We have the same issues at our business.

I wouldnt give GPS coordinates ever. You could be nice and share what bait you were catching them on that day. I do that all the time if Im having success because I want others to as well. But theyll have to figure out the rest! Theyll never get better at it if they dont learn themselves!

Talk to folks who hunt public land in New Mexico. They always shot their buck in the desert... lol. You caught your fish in the lake. wink

I think this answer is perfect. Let them know the weather and water conditions dictate where and what you fish with. Tell them they would not regret a guided trip with you to learn as much as you can teach them in a days time.

Where are the brush piles? 12 to 25 feet, depends on the wind....
Minnows or jigs? we used both
What color jigs? all colors were used
How deep were they? 12-25 feet, some deeper.
Can I just tie up to a tree, I dont have an anchor. sure,...

that was easy,...maybe you all would like to schedule a trip sometime....

that was easy,
