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.

    David is a very personable captain. He knows the area and adjusted our location to . Eventhough catching fish is never a guarantee, David did his best and delivered. Next time I'm in town I will use his charter.

    Trip: St. Augustine Inshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    This was my son’s first time out salt water fishing. He had the best time! Landed some giant red fish. Captain Christopher will definitely be our go to guy in St. Augustine, until he decides to hang it up, which I hope isn’t for a long long time.

    We had an awesome time with George!! He was so kind and accommodating to our special needs son! We were on the fish as soon as we left the bay and caught several keepers to try in the pan. I would recommend George to anyone that is looking for a good time with a highly knowledgeable captain.
