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.

What month is best for on a wading charter in Islamorada?

    Sean is the man!! We hopped out for an afternoon half day right on the tail end of some weird weather patterns and didn't have high hopes, but Sean relentlessly tried new techniques and locations to get us on some fish. I don't know that I've ever been out with a guide who has moved more or tried more techniques in a 4 hour fishing trip. He knew exactly when to say "this isn't working the fish aren't here, lets move on" which is an underrated skill in a guide. We found the flats empty of the usual suspects (tarpon permit bonefish), but we pivoted and hooked into cero mackerel, mutton snapper, and some barracuda. Sean has been fishing in Key West for 30+ years and won't steer you wrong!

    We used captain Chris for a lobstering charter. We had a 6 people including my son that is 8 years old who is very intuitive and ask tons of questions. I can say if enough how great he was with my son. He is very laid back and exceed expectations on showing us how to hunt for lobster. He made sure that everyone left with lobster. diner. 10 out of 10 experience. Will be recommending to everyone. Also has a great playlist on the boat.

    Fishing was tough today with wind and a lack of current, but we managed to grab a few snook away from the hungry lemon sharks and some jack crevalle. Captain Nick was a great, easy-going quide, and I look forward to fishing with him again perhaps when Mother Nature is a little more accomodating!
