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.

  • ★★★★★
    Joey and Linda were fantastic. We took our family of 5 (11, 9 & 5 year olds) out with Joey and Alina and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. Totally worth the money. I’ve been out on party boats and charter boats but this was a first for my young family. It couldn’t have gone better. Highly recommend this couple!

    Captain George was all around great! On time, very knowledgeable and attentive with great instructions for each fish type we were chasing. Extremely professional and did an excellent job cleaning the catch so we could make for dinner too. All around great time.
