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 an amazing saltwater fishing experience Captain Austin provided my family and I. This trip included my Denise, my daughter, her husband, my grandson, and I. None of us are experienced saltwater fishermen but the Captain put us on fish right away and we all caught plenty all day. My grandson caught a nice red Grouper and a big hog fish and Denise caught 2 big hog fish. It was a great time for us all and thank you Captain Austin for a time together we will never forget.

    Had an awesome trip out. First time out for my son and I together on a personal charter and did not disappoint. We caught grouper till we were tired of catching grouper. Greg and his mate made sure we were catching fish and knew how to use their tackle. Only time I had to bait my hook was when the deck hands was baiting my sons hook, and I’ve been fishing for over 35+ years and didn’t want to wait. They also don’t waste time in an area if the fish are not biting. Will definitely use them again if in the area.

    Trip: 8 Hours Fishing Trip

    What a fantastic day out on the water!!! My family came in from out of town looking to go on a deeper fishing trip. Greg came highly recommended both by the booking agent as well as previous reviews. Our hopes of having fun and catching some big fish were exceeded both by the amount and size of fish that were caught as well as the variety. Greg really showed his knowledge and experience by his ability to put us “on the fish”! Robbie, the captain’s right hand man, was so awesome as well! He kept all the lines baited and really taught us how to not lose the fish while reeling them in. The entire day was a blast and an unforgettable adventure!!! Thank you again Greg and Robbie from the Shannon Clan!
