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.

    Frank was the best captain! He has great knowledge of the area and offers many different fishing experiences. He was also very encouraging and helpful when reeling in our monster of a fish! We definitely plan on taking another trip with him as our captain soon!

    My husband and I had a great fishing day with Captain Frank. While the weather conditions, and tide, wasn’t fully cooperating, that was completely out of anyone’s control. Captain Frank is a great guide, very patient, calm, and easy going. It feels like you’re out on the water with an ole friend when you’re with him. We caught some speckled trout and we were very happy with day. We created new memories.😊
