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.

    Dale and his first mate Kendal were fantastic to work with. They were friendly and helped to make our trip both fun and memorable. If you’re thinking of hitting the waters to catch fish and have a great time, this is the boat you want to be on. -Cory S.

    Ron shared a lot of information about the local area, very personable and helped us catch some nice fish for the dinner table. He was even kind enough to pick us up in the morning for our trip due to car troubles we had!

    We had a great time fishing with Johnny. He was patient with all of us - very attentive. When one of us snagged a stingray, it was extra fun watching how calm he was in helping us get it to the boat to take a quick picture (before we let it go). Got enough catch for an amazing dinner!
