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.

    Had a great time with Captain Mike. He worked hard to help us catch fish. Which we caught all kinds including 9’ sharks. Ended with dolphins play behind our boat as we headed back in. Thank you Captain Mike

    Captain Cole IS. THE. MAN!!! A complete astute professional on the water! From safety to organizational skills on the boat. This team knows how to fish. We can’t forget the skipper of the boat. Talk about absolute work ethic. Consistently giving 100% effort in hunting for fish, educating the individuals fishing on the boat, and guiding us on how to properly fish the species that were being targeted. Fantastic team, fantastic work ethic, a great duo, and what an honor to learn how to fish with Captain Cole and his skipper. Thank you for a fantastic time. We will absolutely be coming back to fish with this team. Thank you Captain Cole and his skipper for having us on his boat, what an honor and an experience. Forever grateful, forever thankful.

    Trip: 8 Hour Full Day

  • ★★★★★
    My dad and I were able to squeeze in on a charter with Captain Eric fairly last minute which was awesome! He got us both on some sea trout first thing in the morning, lined us up on some tarpon but before I was able to take any shots on the fly rod, we spooked a tarpon and in came the bull sharks. We buzzed over to a different flat where I had shots at both snook and redfish. I didn’t end up making any of my shots with the fly rod but this was also my first saltwater fly fishing experience as well as my first guided trip so it was all pretty new to me. I’m just stoked we were able to get out in the first place. But I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Captain Eric and I certainly wouldn’t turn down another opportunity to have him guide us! He’s quiet but very focused and knowledgeable about the marine life and was able to give me casting tips as well with the fly rods. Thank you again for squeezing us in Eric!

    Trip: Back Country Bonanza

    Had a fun day out with Capt Chris. Although the wind and grass made the fly fishing challenging, he made every effort to navigate nature with alternative locations. The switchover to bait-cast resulted in several mangrove snappers, as well as trying for tarpon & snook. Would re-book in a blink with Capt. Chris at the helm!
