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 bottom fishing charter in Layton?

    Trip: 4-8 Hour Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We went into this excursion with a "whatever" mentality, believing that even a bad day fishing is better than doing anything else. This crew worked hard! Put us on the fish and made it all so easy. Great communication before and during the trip too. Fun day with Grandpa, two dads and three little girls learning the joy of fishing. Crew very attuned that we had kids and really worked hard to pay them special attention and make sure they enjoyed the day. We would charter these guys again.

    Trip: Marathon Premier Bottom Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Paul and first mate Gary worked hard all day on our 8 hour trip offshore. Targeting Blackfin Tuna, Mackerel and Sailfish all day and keeping us over the fish with consistent bites. Would definitely recommend to anybody who wants a good experience offshore and will hopefully be back again in the future.

    Trip: Key Largo Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Took a 6 hour trip on August Holiday booking was very easy, for a group of 4 adults. We had a wonderful day trip fishing with one of the charter skippers, Captain Des Bot he and his Mate Jamie were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful we really could not have wished for a more helpful experience especially as we are far from experienced at fishing especially in Florida. The results we managed to obtain targeting fish we could eat and have some fun with could not have been better delivered. For the table we caught plenty of Snapper all varieties more than enough to feed out family of 8. We also managed to have a lot of fun with Grouper both red and small Goliath. All was delivered over three or 4 locations on the Bay side due to rough conditions in the gulf, so it made for a very rewarding comfortable da. To cap it all off the catch was all expertly prepared and bagged ready for us to take to a superb recommendation location Sparky's Landing who prepared a beautiful variety of meals, blackend, tacos and crumbed the snapper was just beautiful. all in all I could not be happier with the service and value.
