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.

    My wife and I had a wonderful day of fishing with Capt.Chris. The bite was a little slow but Chris never gave up on finding fish and it turned into a good day of catching! Made for a great day on the water.

    Trip: Half Day (4hr)

  • ★★★★★
    1/29/25. Just finished a 4 hour trip with captain Tom and his friend/mate Gary. From start to finish we had excellent service, easy communication and planning. We had concerns about seasickness and Tom put us at ease. In the end we had 4 hours of non-stop action and more fish then we can eat in a month. I recommend captain Tom to everyone. He knows these waters and fish and is an all around great captain.
