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.

    The trip was fantastic! I would highly recommend Scott and Jimmy. They are very personable and did a great job getting us where we needed to be to have a successful fishing trip.

    Trip: Nearshore And Jetties

  • ★★★★★
    We have been on a few charters, but this one was, by far, the best! Joe was AMAZING in every way. We caught so many fish, despite the season being a bit behind, (which he was very upfront about), he was personable, kind, friendly, knowledgeable, fun, entertaining - literally everything you could want or need in a guide. We will not choose any other guide whenever we are here - which is every 3 months due to our Mayo visits. As some may know, Mayo can be exhausting and stressful, but after our appointments, our time spent with Joe out fishing, honestly made all of the stress, worries, and cares disappear. I could not recommend him enough!!

    My husband and I had a great fishing day with Captain Frank. While the weather conditions, and tide, wasn’t fully cooperating, that was completely out of anyone’s control. Captain Frank is a great guide, very patient, calm, and easy going. It feels like you’re out on the water with an ole friend when you’re with him. We caught some speckled trout and we were very happy with day. We created new memories.😊
