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 permit fishing in Marco Island?

The most popular season for permit fishing in Marco Island is spring, and most anglers book their trips 19 days in advance.

    Kyle is an amazing guide. We had one of our best days of fishing ever. Conditions were tough but it didn’t phase Kyle he kept us on fish all day.

    Trip: Everglades Inshore/Back Water

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Tim is hands down one of the best charter captains you could ask for when it comes to inshore fishing! He knows the water like the back of his hand and has an incredible ability to know when and where the fish are going to be. He handled our group of six with ease, making sure everyone was taken care of, having a great time, and, most importantly, getting the opportunity to catch fish. Keeping six people fishing and having a successful trip is no easy task, but Captain Tim made it look effortless with his experience, knowledge, and professionalism. If you’re looking for a captain who knows his waters, puts you on the fish, and makes sure everyone has a memorable day on the water, Captain Tim is your guy! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable inshore fishing experience!

    Trip: Nearshore Trip With Captain Phil

  • ★★★★★
    Brock is hilarious, charismatic, and kind captain. Throughout the whole trip he tried his absolute hardest to put us on fish, all while chatting with us and showing us Manatees, turtles, birds, etc. He is very knowledgeable about the area and clearly knows what he is doing. We highly recommend for anyone wanting to experience fishing a great time fishing in the Everglades, kids, teens, or adults. It is clear that he is dedicated to this job and will not stop trying to make it a successful day for you. Thanks Brock!
