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.

    John is a damn good guide! He is incredible experienced and passionate for fishing. He put us on hot spot with almost none stop actions. We want to come back to do more fishing with him!

    We had a fantastic day fishing with Captain Greg. He knew where to find grouper and we were pulling them up left and right. With the help of his deck hand Aiden, they kept our hooks baited and were there to lend a hand, managing all 6 of us. I would definitely recommend Cpt Greg for a great day of fishing. We will be eating grouper for the next few months.

    Trip: Sarasota Offshore W/ Capt Mike

    Our trip was great! You could tell they cared about our experience being amazing. The water was beautiful and they took care of everything down to keeping our lives baited and active. The captain even prepped our fish and sent us to a local restaurant that cooked it for us. Highly recommend!

    Trip: St. Pete Offshore Experience

    My son and I did a 6 hour off shore fishing charter with Capt. Mike and had a fantastic time. Mike got in touch with us immediately after we booked. His communication was clear, concise and accurate. He was in touch again the day before our trip to see if we had any questions and asked if we had any particular type of fish that we wanted to fish for. On the day of the trip, we arrived 15 minutes before our scheduled departure. Mike already had the boat in the water and the fishing poles rigged and ready. After a brief safety discussion and orientation to the boat, we took off. Mike took us 40 miles off shore before we started fishing. Using his electronics on the boat and past experience, he expertly moved us around and it didn’t take long before my son and I caught some nice size Grouper. Mike kept the fish we caught on ice until we got back to the dock. There, he quickly filleted our fish and had zip lock bags for us to put them in. One thing I couldn’t help but notice was Mike seemed to be having as much fun as we were. I would highly recommend Mike for your next fishing charter.
