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.

    Capt. Jacob put us on tarpon early and often. One hook-up and quickly gone after one nice leap from the water. We had our chances early with plenty of fish around. Jacob kept up the hunt and our lack of fly casting wasn't a problem for the Captain. After we got more comfortable, we were able to land this nice tarpon on a fly. Something I have dreamed about for a while. Thank you Captain Experiences.

    My daughter, son in law, and I had an amazing trip today with Captain Tim. We caught a few snook and snapper and even had a few to take home to eat. Captain Tim kept us on good fishing spots. He was super helpful and was fun company on the boat. We will be returning for sure!

    Capt. Perry was an absolute pleasure to have for our fishing trip. He was clearly a pro, had a great personality, and took the time to figure out what we wanted from our experience. He then delivered. We caught some trophy fish and my sons and I had a great experience. Highly recommend.

    Kenny was AMAZING! The fish weren’t biting but we had such a great time! Richard was unable to take us out due to a scheduling conflict but Kenny was there to take us out. He took us to several different spots and tried all the tricks but they just weren’t biting. Had the BEST time with him and would definitely book with Kenny again!
