most walleye lodges ive been out to and where i will be guiding you are 6 people in a big freighter styled boat and the guides job is to locate the fish by jigging with the clients,since these eyes move on a daily bassis .also part of the guides job is to catch enough fish for the shore lunch so the clients dont have to use thier limit towards the shore lunch.
i guess it depends for what lodge you are working for!different opinions and ways of working i guess..like they say different strokes for different folks
