When I take people out who aren't familiar with fishing or handling their own equipment, bait, etc, I usually fish live bait. That way I can set them up at the beginning of the drift and they just hang onto the rod until I tell them to reel it in for another drift. Worked for me with two daughters when they were young. There are a few hairy places I like to fish up here in Casco Bay similar to the rip in the Merrimac that require the captain to concentrate on the boat and presenting the best opportunity for the fisherman. Then it's up to the fisherman to at least be ready to rumble when the time comes.
