Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    We had an amazing time with Captain Mitch & Jimmy! Captain Mitch was great at finding the spots and Captain Jimmy was great with our boys. All of us had a blast. I highly recommend these men. Plus we maxed out on our reds. 5 star all around!

    Trip: Half Day Bottom Fishing & Trolling

  • ★★★★★
    Everything was great! Got on fish right away, got our limit for 5 and then targeted other types of fish for the rest of the trip. We ended with lots of fish and a great experience. I recommend using Captain Randall if you want a cooler full of fish.
