Good to hear Drew talk about his career as a guide as the last time I saw him was when he and his brother came over from Gainesville and I took them redfishing🤟😎
Great Interview ! --- I think Drew nailed it with his comments on guiding clients. Most clients just want to have a good time. If the guide treats clients like a buddy out fishing, everyone will have a great time. The fish may come or may not come. But that is not the true value of a trip. This has been my experience of over 40 years on the water with guides.
It's been a long, long time since I fished with Drew. Probably since the 80s. He always put me on fish. One time we were fishing in the Gulf for Spanish Mackerel and suddenly, Drew called out, "We gotta go!" A storm came out of nowhere. Drew told me that if we hadn't gotten underway right then and there, we would have been sunk. Literally. It was the only time I ever saw Drew get rattled.
