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.

    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

  • ★★★★★
    Reinaldo, was very communitive, checked with us three times to ensure we we would have best fishing experience possible. He was very forthcoming with his fishing techniques and knowledge of the river. The one thing both of us were pleasantly surprised about was that he not only provided an excellent guide service he fished with us, which allowed us an opportunity to watch his fishing tactics. He shared his knowledge which is greatly appreciated.
