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.

    Tom was great! He got our beginner group on lobsters and even though it was late in the season, we still caught a good amount of keepers. We inshore fished for a bit after we had enough water time. Fish were slow to bite but Tom worked hard to find hot spots so we could get on the fish. Great conversion, cool guy and overall we had a blast. I’d definitely recommend a trip with Captain Tom.

    Joel and mate, Eric, were great to fish with. Although fishing was a bit slow after the storms, they were persistent on getting us a bunch of Snapper.

    Captain Tony was great! He made our time on the water perfect. It was our first time lobstering and it’s not as easy as it looks but we managed to catch the max. It was a trip we will not forget and hope to bring our boys next time. We will definitely be calling Captain Tony again.
