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.

    What can I say about this trip. Yes I'm sure we got a bit lucky, but Captain Jake got his own bait, put us on fish immediately and we had a blast. We caught 6 different species on light tackle from spanish mackerel, to catfish, to black tip sharks. It was already an amazing trip. Then we got the heavy tackle out and hooked into a hammerhead, more black tips, and the absolute icing on the cake was a giant 150 lb Tarpon. This was my dream, and Jake made it happen. I couldn't recommend him more. He is very knowledgeable, takes his profession very seriously and is fun and personable at the same time! Do not hesitate to pick captain Jake for your next trip

    Good time! The boat ride was fabulous. We were able to assist a boat taking on water. We call the Coast Guard.

    We had an amazing trip. This is my 5th ocean fishing trip and it’s tied with the best. Garrett worked to make sure we caught fish and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed his work (this makes a difference). I highly recommend booking with him.
