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.

    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.

    We went on a cast and blast with Justin. It was an excellent experience. Justin is very knowledgeable. He works his butt off for you. He makes sure you are successful fishing and hunting. I have been out with many other guides, Justin is one of the best. He is a hardworker and knows all of the good spots.

    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!

    Capt Brian was fantastic. I took my two boys and we caught fish all day. Five different species of fish including 2 big clown knife fish. Capt was professional, knowledgeable and had everything we needed on the boat for a great day of fishing. I strongly recommend Capt Brian for a great day on the water.

    Jusin was able to put together a great Cast and Blast trip for us.  He does work very hard to put together a good trip.  Fishing for Peacocks, he did make several moves to various spots and successfully put us on fish.  Hunting for iguanas, again he was able to put us on them for a total of 25 iguanas.  Lunch was very good, and along with good weather made for a really good trip, would definitely recommend.

    Our trip for Peacock bass with Captain Carlos was one of the best we've been on. He is very knowledgeable and extremely efficient when it comes to keeping bait on your hook and the boat just where it needs to be. We will definitely be using his services again!
