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.

    Josh was very knowledgeable and friendly. Got us on fish early. Did pretty decent considering that fishing has been slow. Well definitely use him again.

    Corey was an excellent guide. Non stop feeling in the fish. He kept bait on our hooks at all times. Great personality and won’t stop till you have caught so many fish your arm hurts. His boat is very comfortable and rides like a dream. Super chill guy , great for kids or new beginners. Highly recommend.

    My family had an amazing trip with Captain Pat! I wanted to give the family the opportunity to do something different and he delivered. We came back with a ton of fish to eat, the kids and wife had a blast! Will definitely be taking another trip with him next time we are in Alabama!
