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.

    Great trip! Garrett went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time and a successful trip! Highly recommend!

    Trip: South Florida Lake Osborne & Ida

  • ★★★★★
    He was very knowledgeable about where to go fishing and when we followed his suggestions, we caught fish. He was really laid-back and cool. And he was quick to help net the fish and bait the hook. We got our target species as well as more. I would 100% recommend Jose for anyone who wants to go fishing.

    Trip: Big Catch Adventure!

  • ★★★★★
    He lacks social skills.Not very friendly or having a bad day.Didn't want to carry a conversation no small talk or nothing.Tipped him 20% anyways. I've been on over a dozen guided trips in my life. He ranks the worst with me. No personality.
