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.

    Trip: Shoreline Peacock Bass - Weekdays

  • ★★★★★
    Was in town for Thanksgiving with the fam and had an awesome time out with Capt. Ricky. The boat is super spacious, dry, comfortable, and fast and Capt uses nothing but top of the line tackle. We caught some nice wahoo on the troll that made for awesome sashimi, ceviche, and fish tacos back home. We also came across some floating debris and pitched baits at some Tripletail. They were super picky but Richard and Elliott knew how to make em eat! Thanks guys, will be back soon. – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    My family and I had an epic day with Taco! Taco and his mate were super welcoming as we jumped on board, and it was clear he runs a super clean and well maintained sportfish. We were on fish in no time with my brother-in-law fighting the fish of his life, a giant Amberjack! From there, we spread the kites and caught mahi, bonita, and a beautiful sailfish. Whole fam had a blast and Taco stole the show, we'll be back! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

    Trip: Florida Fishing Spectacular

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jim was fantastic. From the start, our communication was quick and easy. He prepared us with what to expect and what the game plan would be for the day. Upon arrival, Captain Jim immediately welcomed us and briefed us on the safety protocols. Once we were out in the ocean trolling, he monitored and prepared all of the lines while entertaining us and feeding us with endless information. Once the fish was on, he coached us through the reel-in process and expertly removed the fish from the line, and encouraged all of us to take a photo with the fish. We would certainly recommend Captain Jim and we will be re-booking with him in the near future!

    We had a wonderful time with Edmond. He was very prepared for the trip and he did his best to make sure we had every opportunity to catch fish. The bite was tough to get today and we had a few hits that slipped the hook. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed ourselves. I would go with him again.

    Capt Brian was fantastic. I took my two boys and we caught fish all day. Five different species of fish including 2 big clown knife fish. Capt was professional, knowledgeable and had everything we needed on the boat for a great day of fishing. I strongly recommend Capt Brian for a great day on the water.

    Ron and Chris were incredible hosts. We were in town from Seattle without a clue of what group to book with. Both were super knowledgeable about all things fishing, made it easy for beginners to feel like pros and the boat was a smooth, fun ride. Overall, easily 5-stars. Would highly recommend.

    Trip: #1 Offshore Charter

  • ★★★★★
    I took the family (wife, 2 boys and grandma) for a 6 hour charter and had a great time with Captain Ron and the crew, Chris and Brian. They were friendly, safety conscious and knowledgeable. Listening to other boats on the radio that day, the fishing wasn't great yet we hooked a barracuda and a bonita almost as soon as we dropped lines. This was followed up with a nice size mahi that grandma fought 😂 (they cleaned dockside and we took home to eat), 3 more barracudas and an amberjack. Chris was on the ball with keeping bait fresh and when we had multiple fish on, he had complete control of the cockpit. Pick up and drop off was easy. The boat had A/C and a bathroom that was a must have given the family and on a hot day, this made all the difference. I'd rebook the charter.
