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.

    Captain Roland was fantastic! He put us into several different areas, targeting several species and delivered our goal of taking home fresh catch for dinner. We caught snook, snapper, convict fish and sea trout. An altogether great experience for the four of us. We highly recommend and will be back next season for another outing!!

    Griffin was excellent. He was very knowledgeable above where and when to fish for each species. We caught everything except a redfish, if we had caught one it would have been a “grand slam”. I highly recommend him as a guide.

    Trip: Inshore Bay/flats

  • ★★★★★
    James is one incredible individual above the captain title, with that said he moved us around on top of fish all day. Incredibly easy going and ask us exactly what we wanted and man did he deliver. Equipment was fantastic, boat is very nice and has tons of live bait. We couldn’t be happier with this charter and will absolutely take this trip again. I highly recommend as this was above and beyond an incredible experience!!!

  • ★★★★★
    An awesome day on the water!! Travis is an excellent captain and knows the area and water well. We went to several key spots that he had marked and it was obvious he knew where the fish were. The fish weren’t as active that day, however, Travis knew where to go to make sure we still got on fish to make it a memorable day. Thanks again Travis!! Highly recommend!

    Dalton did a great job and highly recommend anyone looking at fishing. He’s super knowledgeable, puts bait on, takes fish off, will cast for if needed, filet your fish up, etc. Very personable and easy to talk to and hang out with. He got us on a ton of fish and took extra time with our 13 year old.

    Trip: Fishing Backwater (No Waves)

  • ★★★★★
    We had a half day charter where we split it up between offshore and onshore for redfish and Travis did not disappoint! We caught a decent number of snapper and a few other things out offshore but then ensure we caught some redfish for the first time! Some keepers some not, but it was definitely a great experience overall! We will definitely be calling Travis again! Would love to even try some tarpon one day! Thank you for a great day!
