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.

    Had a great time hats off to the crew Jason & Dillion. We caught the fish.

    Trip: Harbor Hookup: Destin Fishing Fun

  • ★★★★★
    First time deep sea fishing. Phenomenal experience. Captain Ryan definitely knew his stuff. Four hour fishing trip was tiring and packed with fun. It was tiring because we were constantly reeling in fish. We will make this our mandatory activity when we visit Destin.

    Captain Rick was awesome! We caught fish when nobody else wanted to go out and fish. He was an absolute professional. We will be making frequent trips!

    Caught a lot of fish. Captain Jacob was a great guy and worked hard the whole time to make sure we stayed on top of the fish.

    Trip: Full Day Fishing - 24’ Robalo

  • ★★★★★
    We traveled about fifty miles offshore. Randall and Jerry did a great job. They really put us on the fish. Caught over one hundred, kept about thirty, sent the rest back to grow up some more. My son, my nephew, their army buddy, and myself all different fishing levels, all had a great time. Will go back again next time I'm in Gulf Shores. Van Franklin
