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.

What month is best for on a jigging charter in Destin?

The most popular season to go on a jigging charter in Destin is summer, and most anglers book their trips 19 days in advance.

    Trip: Bay Fishing Trip

    My kids and I had a great time and experience. Captain Kent and Bobbi were so kind. They made every effort to give us a great experience. We caught several amberjack and false albacore. Captain Kent was a true professional who really loves what he does. He touched base a couple times leading up to our trip answering any of our questions. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get out on the water for a good fishing experience.

    Great trip! Tony and his crew waste no time in finding the fish and getting you on the right spot to be successful. The first mates (Chris and Reed) were great, make it simple for beginners and get your fish cleaned up and ready to eat. Highly recommend the experience.
