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.

    Jake was a super guide. My grandson and I had a great trip. Jake was very helpful working with my inexperience with fishing. We caught a variety of fish and Jake know when it was time to move on. Highly recommended.

    Trip: Offshore Catch and Release

    I did a full day guided fly fishing trip with Gage. He is very knowledgeable about the area and put me on many, many fish. Gage was very patient and kind. He gave me a lot of help with my casting technique and helped me to become a better caster. I had a great time with Gage and would recommend him without any reservation. I will definitely book another trip with Gage next time I am in the area.

    Trip: Inshore Bay/flats

  • ★★★★★
    Joey and Linda were great pair! The fish were a little slow but they moved us around until we were sure to have enough for a good meal! They kept us out until we had a decent catch! We appreciated their time and patience with us as a couple of us were beginners.
