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.

James was a great Captain and we really enjoyed our time with him! We were hoping to be able to have more fish to take home with us but I know that some days are better than others when fishing. It was an overall really good experience!

Trip: Pensacola Inshore
A late review!!! Captain Evan and deck hand Jon Jon took us out on an 8 hour trip. It was a guys weekend and we were looking for a fun and laid back crew to take us out and put us on some fish! I got to tell you, they did not disappoint!! We had no major expectations on the trip but from the first stop to the last Amberjack Hookup we did nothing but catch fish. While Captian did his job, our deckhand Jon Jon busted his @$$ making sure we had bait, handled tangles and changed gear as needed. He kept the boat clean and made sure that any fish that hit the deck was a keeper. His effort did not go unappreciated. We were mainly doing bottom fishing and we just mentioned the idea of catching something big. As the day wound down he told us we had one more spot to hit! Check out the photos and see the monster AJs that we hooked up on. Over all an incredible time. The boat handled 5 guys Jon Jon and Captian comfortably. We hav plenty of room and enough shade to get out of the sun when needed. Long story short…..This crew comes highly recommended. They are very knowledgeable and do what is needed to make the trip very enjoyable. Thanks again for a great time.
