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.

    Fernando & his assistant were nice. We went in December which was very cold and we didn’t see any action. It was not at all what I expected. When we got to the beach, the rigs were all set up and baits were taken by kayak by the guides about 300 yards out. My 10 year old was bored very quickly by sitting in chairs, in the cold & dark. There’s no instruction or casting, just sitting behind rods for 4 hours. I’m sure it’s extremely exciting if something is caught but there’s no action or interaction otherwise.

    We had such an amazing time! We had a townhome on the beach, and Fernando came to us! They really worked super hard to make sure we caught a shark, & all felt included!
