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.

    Trip: Tripletail Fishing In Apalachicola

  • ★★★★★
    Great day on the water with capt. Carl. Lot of speckled trout to start the day. Then a flounder, couple of reds and a black drum. Saw some dolphins on the way out. Capt Carl was great to fish with. Highly recommend

    Trip: Port St. Joe Inshore Red-Bender

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Krista was great to travel around the ocean with. She knew exactly where to go to find the fish. She was great with the kids and taught them exactly how to fish. We got a little sea sick during so we made a detour and found some amazing shells and got to see so many dolphins. Definitely a trip to remember! Can't wait to come back and do it again.
