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: Crystal Coast Scalloping

  • ★★★★★
    We had an incredible day scalloping with Captain Justin! From start to finish, he made the entire trip safe, fun, and stress-free. He knew exactly where to take us, and we were pulling in scallops right away. Justin was extremely thoughtful and patient, teaching us the best techniques and making sure everyone felt comfortable in the water. His experience and knowledge really showed, and it made the day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a captain who truly cares and makes the whole adventure enjoyable, Captain Justin is the one. We couldn’t recommend him more! Thanks for a great time mate!!
