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.

Hudson Fishing Overview

The fishing opportunities in Hudson are top notch with plenty of sought after inshore and nearshore species to target across a diverse range of habitats. Whether you love sight casting on the fly or bottom fishing the reefs, Hudson has trips for anglers of all levels. If the fishing alone isn’t enough, this area has mild weather and some of the most picturesque white sand beaches making it one of the best vacation spots in the country.

Hudson Freshwater Fishing

Lake Tarpon is on the east side of Hudson and happens to be one of the most robust fisheries in the world. This lake is fairly large with a surface area of 2,500 acres and a healthy largemouth bass. This fishery is thriving due to low fishing pressure which makes it a prime spot to wet a line. Biologists who monitor Lake Tarpon found that the largemouth population is well balanced making it one of the top ten best bass fishing lakes in the state.

Hudson Inshore Fishing

The shallow waters near Hudson are home to popular inshore fish and a few bucket list species. The incredible inshore fishing is due to an abundance of excellent habitat which offers plenty of cover and prey. While fishing with conventional tackle is common, anglers who love fly fishing will want to take advantage of these prime backwater spots.

From spring through the summer, tarpon swing through the area on their annual migration with snook following close behind. In the summer and fall giant bull redfish move through the bays and channels into the flats to spawn. When the water temperatures start to drop speckled trout become extremely aggressive and feed on all the baitfish and shrimp they can find.

Hudson Nearshore Fishing

Just off the coast of Hudson, the seafloor is littered with reefs and wrecks that hold bigger and more powerful fish. A nearshore trip will put you on some of the most amazing fish without spending a ton of time traveling to the first spot. Bottom fishing around deep structure is the best way to target snapper and grouper species along with the formidable amberjack. On the fringe of the reefs, schools of kingfish and cobia can be caught by casting bait.

    We had a great trip with Captain Brad and Skylar yesterday. Caught several grouper and saw a few dolphins as well. The guys were so good with our kids and they moved us frequently to make sure we continued to pull in fish. Would definitely recommend using this company to anyone looking to deep sea fishing in the Clearwater area.

    Captain Nick, got us on the fish. He was very patient and taught me a lot about fly fishing for Red Fish. I fly fish streams a rivers out west where I live so this was a different experience. I highly recommend Captain Nick and will be back in the future.

    Mikey, our guide, was terrific. He got us on the water, lines in and catching fishing in no time. Born and raised in the area, he gave us info on all the varieties of fish we chased and how to play them to the boat. My 3 sons had a blast and wished we had a longer duration for our fishing session with him. Highly recommend him as your next guide!

    Went out with Robert for a 4 hour trip targeting speckled trout. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and knew exactly what to do throughout the whole day to keep us on the fish almost the entire time. Aside from the fishing we also just had a great time in general on the boat through the whole trip. We will be booking again on our future trips to Tarpon for a deep water excursion.

    Bert Weber I did not have Cameron as my guide due to a scheduling mix-up. I did have Josh as a fill-in and he did a fantastic job finding some nice redfish. Luckily, I had flexibility as far as my time and the afternoon trip worked out well. My original request was for a fly fishing experience...Josh informed that this was not a viable option due to water conditions. All considered...it was a good day of fishing and I would recommend Josh to anyone.

    We had the best day hanging out with Mikey! We had 3 kiddos (11 and 8) and he was so great with them!! Took time to get to know them, and talked about each fish they caught so it was super educational too! We would do this again in a heartbeat and couldn’t have asked for a better captain and a better day!!

    We had an absolute blast!! I will say this, if you like to chill and just drink your beer, this might not be your charter. We caught so many fish we could hardly drink our beer! LOL! Honestly it was the best! We were a group of 4 adults and a 10 yr old. Of course, the kid caught a keeper Hogfish! The prized fish of the day. Thank you so much Tommy and Kevin. We will be back.
