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 day with Captain Dan and first mate. We pomptly set off and had a fantastic time pulling in a Mahi and half a dozen tuna. The trip was as much as we hoped for…good weather, great crew, and some fish to be cooked at a local restaurant. Highly recommend this charter and will definitely be booking again for some other fishing if/when we make it back to the Keys. Thanks Dan and Pete!

    Trip: Deep Sea, Wreck And Reef

  • ★★★★★
    Booked a 6 hour trip with my father and uncle and had a fantastic day. Weather was phenomenal and we were the first ones out on the water. We went out to troll the Islamorada Hump and were able to land a small blackfin tuna. On the way in, we hooked a 25-30 lb wahoo and had it right next to the boat but it bit through the mono leader. We then finished the day off catching fat yellowtails at the reef. Overall, solid day. TJ was a great captain and Mitch did a very good job at staying active on the lines. We had a great time and would recommend booking a trip with TJ.

    We had an amazing day fishing with Captain Timothy (TJ) and his Mate Mitch. Their professionalism and willingness to go o above and beyond stood out the most. Awesome boat and crew who know him to find the fish. Thanks TJ.

    Trip: 3/4 Day Deep Sea

    We had a wonderful time with TJ. He made sure to reach out to me beforehand to iron out any details of our trip. He was very knowledgeable and helped us bring in a big haul of yellow tail, snapper, and a porgy. They cleaned and filleted the fish as soon as we got back. We ate it that night and it was the tastiest freshest fish I’ve ever had, and I grew up 25+ years in south Florida! Whether you’ve got a fish on the line or you’re waiting for one to bite, TJ and his crew will ensure you have a great time.
