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 live bait fishing charter in Fort Myers?

    Captain Dalton did a great job and so knowledgeable of the area. His knowledge of the fish, areas to fish, is excellent. His old Florida mantra made the trip top notch. We will be looking for hIm on our next trip to FT. MYERS

    Trip: Fishing Thrills in Fort Myers

  • ★★★★★
    Our family had an incredible time this morning! James took us to several places where we caught lots of fish! We also saw dolphins, a nurse shark, a school of stingrays, pelicans and other birds. Everyone enjoyed themselves including my 84 yr old mother! James was so accommodating for her and everyone. He really went out of his way to put our son on some snook. I can’t say enough good things about James and our experience. I truly appreciate the time he spent with us. We will definitely book a trip with him again! ❤️
