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.

    This was my Son and I’s first experience salt water fishing. It was fantastic from start to finish. Captain Larry and Lucus were very accommodating and patient. Obviously everyone wants to catch fish after fish, heck who wouldn’t. But that is why they call it fishing and not catching. We enjoyed the company of the captain and first mate, and most importantly being out in God’s creation with my son. It doesn’t get any better than that. Thank you for the experience and the memories. Have a blessed and safe year!
