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.

    Trip: Destin Bottom Fishing And Trolling!

  • ★★★★★
    Great day on the water! Booked the Bluewater FAD trip and captain Jon worked his tail off to put us on fish despite sea conditions. The pelagic bite was slow, but we managed to put a few Mahi in the boat. Then Jon suggested we pivot to some deep drops for Golden Tilefish to finish the day off - that resulted in 13 tilefish hitting the deck to finish off the day.
