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 went out with Captain Mike the day before the Fourth Of July 2023. The boat was clean and loaded with all the needed supplies. We had great weather and a fun experience. Captain Mike gave great instructions as my wife and I were fishing with our three boys ages 13, 8, & 5. Shane was a great deckhand, keeping rods baited and our fish iced. I would recommend Captain Mike to anyone looking to go out and have a fun day on the gulf catching snapper, beeliners, and other reef fish.

    We went out on Tuesday which was originally scheduled for Monday but the weather didn’t cooperate and we were thankful that captain Seth suggested going out the next day.

I would highly recommend this charter to anyone wanting to have a great time and load up on fish.

    Great trip! Captain Brian and Jackson made the trip a very enjoyable experience, and we caught lots of fish! Although we had to release the amberjack and red snapper due to being out of season.

    We had a fantastic trip with Captain Pat this past weekend! Pat was friendly, laid-back, yet professional. He was super patient with a couple of us beginners and did everything he could to get us to various near-shore locations to give us the best chance of catching some fish. It was a gorgeous morning and the water was spectacular. Will definitely be looking to hire Captain Pat for our next visit to Orange Beach! Highly recommend!
