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.

    If you have kids, or a group of friends or just you and your partner Anthony is the guide to choose!!! Anthony is very communicative and personable. He fosters an environment of comfort, laughter and adventure! He's outgoing, energetic, knowledgeable, kind, adventurous, kid oriented, willing to help!!! He made contact with us immediately after booking our trip to give us an overview of the experience. We were an hour late to our experience due to traffic and GPS misguidance Anthony was patient and assisted us in getting to the correct location. This experience was nothing short of a dream. Anthony is clearly passionate about what he does and its contagious. He is knowledgable, willing to help, outgoing, full of energy, adventurous, willing to go the extra mile for the sake of his clients!! Best experience and guide we could have asked for, for mine and my partners first time and my 14 year olds first time. We got to catch the fish we came for and some!! Anthony frequently checked in with us to verify comfort and frequently offered refreshments. Anthony went the extra mile to ensure that me, my boyfriend, and our daughter had the experience of a life time!! He took his time and didn't rush anything. We didn't just have an awesome experience and time fishing, we feel we made a friend! Any time we visit Florida we will be coming back to book with Anthony for an experience full of catching fish, learning, laughter and fun.

    Highly Recommend J.P as a fishing guide for your next trip. The Fishing was absolutely amazing with a mixed bag of Peacock Bass, Large mouth bass, and Oscar’s. Most importantly, J.P was very patient in teaching us many different techniques in catching these Fish. My wife caught over 40 fish. The bite was non stopped and J.P has all the necessary fishing equipment. Thanks for an amazing day J.P! See you soon David & Linda from New Jersey

    We had an excellent day with Justin. Our target species was Peacock Bass and as promised, Justin delivered. Both of us were novices to fly fishing but Justin was patient and coached us to ensure we were landing fish, and we did!! All day long. Great time. We are looking to coming back next year and hooking up with Justin.

    My son and I had a great time inshore fishing with captain Anthony. He immediately put us on a few epic tarpon, wow what an amazing experience!! He knows all the great spots to fish. We caught Jack Crevalle, snapper, shark, tarpon and a few others. Anthony is super friendly and ensures you are well taken care of and have a great time. I highly recommend using him as your Miami fishing guide. I will book him next time we are in Miami.

    Tough month, January and had a big cold front run through. Did that prevent Jose from putting us onto fish? No. Not at all, we were catching fish all day. He was patient and organized as well as friendly and instructive. Recommended for booking a day trip on the everglades!

    Captain Ralph and Mike were super fun guys. They taught us a lot and were a great hang for us on my bachelor party. We reeled in a few decent sized fish, but the whole experience with the Miami skyline made it worth it. Thanks Captain Ralph!

    We went out with Captain Anthony last night and had a wonderful time. A native Miamian, he knew the area and knewvwhere the fish were. We had my 12 year old nephew with us and Anthony was great with him. He took the time to instruct the young lad in proper technique and made sure his rig was baited up and in the water as much as possible. The result? My little nephew outfished us all and he was thrilled. The only problem is we cant shut him up. He is still going on about the adventure declaring it his "best fishing trip ever". We tied into several tarpon that bested us novice tarpon fisherman, but came home with a nice mess of large mangrove snapper that we a lot of fun to catch and are now being breaded, fried and served up with slaw, hushpuppies and fries for a real southern lunch. The big ones are going on the grill whole to be deboned table-side with garlic lemon butter and served with mushroom risotto and ceasar salad. Plenty for the whole family. I heartily recommend a trip out with Captain Anthony for a good time, good eats and memories for a lifetime. Thank you Captain!

    Captain Dennis is a Silver King master. Fishing with him is an adventure. He made us feel like more like friends than clients and did a great job teaching us how it's done.

    Chris is an awesome guide. Real Miami native who knows the bay better than anyone. He really cares about fishing and he is not on a hard "trip ending" time. Chris also suggested some local Miami restaurants and took us there after our trip. A certified damn good guide in my book.
