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.

    If you have kids, or a group of friends or just you and your partner Anthony is the guide to choose!!! Anthony is very communicative and personable. He fosters an environment of comfort, laughter and adventure! He's outgoing, energetic, knowledgeable, kind, adventurous, kid oriented, willing to help!!! He made contact with us immediately after booking our trip to give us an overview of the experience. We were an hour late to our experience due to traffic and GPS misguidance Anthony was patient and assisted us in getting to the correct location. This experience was nothing short of a dream. Anthony is clearly passionate about what he does and its contagious. He is knowledgable, willing to help, outgoing, full of energy, adventurous, willing to go the extra mile for the sake of his clients!! Best experience and guide we could have asked for, for mine and my partners first time and my 14 year olds first time. We got to catch the fish we came for and some!! Anthony frequently checked in with us to verify comfort and frequently offered refreshments. Anthony went the extra mile to ensure that me, my boyfriend, and our daughter had the experience of a life time!! He took his time and didn't rush anything. We didn't just have an awesome experience and time fishing, we feel we made a friend! Any time we visit Florida we will be coming back to book with Anthony for an experience full of catching fish, learning, laughter and fun.

    Ken is the hardest working, most knowledgeable guide in the business. Ken knows the fishery incredibly well and will not rest until you have had your fill of fishing and 100% satisfaction, he’s relentless and tireless, even after poling an entire day in 20+ mph winds, he doesn’t take a breath and is thinking ahead. If you want to fish with a true professional who absolutely embraces the love of fishing on the Florida flats, finding fish all day long, who will not stop, then Ken is your guide. I’m referring Ken to my angler friends that fully appreciate the work that goes into a successful day on the water. I’m working on my next trip with Ken already!

    We had an amazing time with Captain Jason. He was able to adapt location and gear to make sure we caught fish (in our case mangrove snapper and snook) . Great conversation and company which was as important to us as the fish we caught. We are both at beginner level and Jason made us feel well taken care of. He cleaned the fish and recommended a great local restaurant which cooked our catch very well. We would take a trip with Jason again for sure.

    Trip: Miami sport fishing 🎣

  • ★★★★★
    This was honestly one of the most disappointing charters I’ve had. I’ve booked numerous charters all over and in the keys. I realize fishing is fishing but we were greeted by a captain other than Dan, great guy but not what I expected honestly. Our vessel wasn’t prepared and ready to go so we waited longer than was expected and it pushed other plans back even further. We caught one 12.5 inch yellow that was big enough to keep. On other charters the boat is quite well prepared and ready to change course quickly to get you on the fish, not the case, granted it was a shorter booking I’ve still had much better equipped captains and vessels. So to spend the day bobbing for non existent apples was not at all ideal. It was so boring my wife and son chose to nap. So just be aware that if you choose this charter it may not go at all to plan. Sadly it was a waste of precious vacation time. I typically hate reading negative reviews and have never personally left one, but this seemed appropriate given the outcome. Good luck.

    Fishing with Anthony was fantastic! Outgoing, super friendly and professional. He went above and beyond to make sure my son and I had the absolute best experience possible. 5 stars 🌟. I definitely recommend booking with Anthony. Thanks Anthony…if we’re ever back in Miami we will for sure book with you again.

    We had a great time with Captain Joey. We are a family of 4 withlittle to no experience fishing. He was so great at helping our kids and teaching them to cast and reel. He was super patient which was so appreciated. He was very knowledgeable about the Everglades area and the fish that we could catch. I would highly recommend him for anyone interested in a fishing adventure in the area. You will definitely enjoy the adventure!

    My son and I had a great time inshore fishing with captain Anthony. He immediately put us on a few epic tarpon, wow what an amazing experience!! He knows all the great spots to fish. We caught Jack Crevalle, snapper, shark, tarpon and a few others. Anthony is super friendly and ensures you are well taken care of and have a great time. I highly recommend using him as your Miami fishing guide. I will book him next time we are in Miami.

    I have fished with numerous guides and have over fifty years of fishing experience myself with over 120 days per year for the past 20 years. Andrew has extensive knowledge of the areas we fished and is a very skilled fisherman as well as an excellent guide. His boat is both comfortable and clean as is the fishing gear. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone interested in fishing the Key Largo area. And yes, we caught fish.
