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.

    Captain Colby was an absolute pleasure to fish with. He was waiting on us to arrive-, very personable and put us directly on the fish. Captain Colby took the time to assist my daughters while my wife and I fished, everyone had multiple landings. I have fished on the West, East and Gulf coasts and I would recommend him without hesitation. Fantastic Trip, thank you very much!

    Bradley was very good with making these 10-15 year old boys make sure they knew what to do and had a good time of fun. He made sure they each had a rod, baited. Nd could cast it where they needed. For two first time fisherman, they had a blast. The 10 yr old catch the most fish. We got back to the condo, and he told his dad let’s go fishing tomorrow. Thanks for a great first trip, saltwater fishing for theses boys.

    In all of the trips we've taken I don't think we could have gotten a better captain an first mate. They helped us an with out hesitation, especially my 87 year father. And they did so on a way as to not hurt his pride. With their my pops pulled this beast up to boat. Couldn't give them a greater recommendation... Thanks Bryn and Ben

  • ★★★★★
    Hey Captain Experiences! Captain Eddie and Fisher are a great crew. Captain Eddie did his best to get us on fish and he did, we just had trouble with the dolphins stealing our bait. As much as the dolphins are cute and cool to see, they can be annoying to say the least. Fisher was very informative, not only about fish and dolphins, but also about how weather and moon cycles play out into catching fish as well. The boat is a very nice 55 for boat. Very clean and in top notch condition for the year! We recommend Captain Eddie and Fisher very highly. When we come back to Gulf shores, we will be calling on Captain Experiences, Captain Eddie and Fisher. We feel we have made two new friends. Thanks for the great and fun time guys. Bill
