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.

For the ultimate fishing experience, the Atlantic's Gulf Stream is located 20-40 miles from Fort Pierce and is home to famous Floridian fish such as Mahi Mahi, Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Tuna. A six-hour or longer trip is necessary to reach these waters and allow ample time for fishing.

    Captain Bill took me, my son in law and two grandsons on an iguana hunt. We all had a great time and a fair amount of success under Captain Bills guidance. He was patient and entertaining with an emphasis on safety. Thanks for the good time Captain Bill. It would have been easier for me to find the boat ramp if I had the address rather than a pin.
