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.

    Adam was an awesome captain! He was patient with the newbies in our group. He also helped us catch a huge Goliath grouper. Great experience!

    Capt. Adam gave 110% effort and it paid off. We were completely satisfied with our trip. Capt. Adam knew where the fish were, when they stopped biting we moved on to a new location, we caught our limit. I will be recommending him to everyone. Great job Capt. Adam, keep up the great work.
