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.

    JP was an absolute rockstar captain! He put safety first and made sure we had the time of our lives while catching fish left and right. Not only was he a super cool guide, but he also knew everything there was to know about the Everglades. I'm already planning my next Florida trip just so I can book with JP again. He's the man!
