How many of you have hired a guide and learned something that you use when you crappie fish on your home waters? I am sure we can all learn new things from a guide but would like to hear some insight from others. I fish about 2-3 times a week and catch fish but there are times when I feel like I could be doing new things to catch more. Also, I fish backwaters on local rivers and it seems to me that most of the guided trips I see are on lakes and reservoirs. Do these techniques work for river fishing? Thanks.
