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.

    Great trip. Limited out quickly. Chase and Jake are a lethal duo. We had 4 kids with us two under the age of 8. They had the patients to help the little guys land some fish. Highly recommend.

    We had a great time with Chase. I had 2 children age 6 and 12 and he was great with the kids. We caught our limit and will go back.

    Very knowledgeable, has a quick boat that’ll get out there to the fish. He is quick to find the fish and would highly recommend him for anybody looking to land nice ones.

    Trip: Offshore Jigging / Trolling

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Sara provided my daughter and grandson with a wonderful near-shore fishing experience. Although I was along, the trip was for them and Captain quickly demonstrated her solid understanding. We experienced some rougher than desired water for the first half of the trip, and Captain Sara navigated them perfectly. The trip ended with calm waters and a little bit of time in the pass so my grandson could use his own fresh-water gear to fish. He was a thrilled 11-year old! I must mention the performance of Sara's mate, Rider. Rider worked closely with my grandson and focused his attention on making the experience memorable. We caught 10 fish. Perhaps not a great many; but every one was a thrill. Spanish mackerel, tuna and cobia. My grandson caught 8, my daughter 2, and I caugh none - - - just the way it should be. You won't regret booking with Captain Sarah.
