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.

    This Captain Ben was AWESOME ! ! ! Took wife and two grandkids with me, we caught more fish then you could count. All fish were good size and quite a number of them were keepable, which he filleted when we got to dock size. Plan to schedule another outing with him shortly and HIGHLY recommend him to everyone!!!

    Captain Kevin was a Great guide. He was able to put us on the fish quickly. We never stopped reeling in the good times with Captain Kevin. He took care of my kids and myself like family. I would highly recommend Captain Kevin to anyone looking for a great day on the water. Safety and entertainment was his priority and I must say Captain Kevin killed it for our family.
