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.

    Trip: Guaranteed Peacock Bass And More

  • ★★★★★
    Highly, emphatically, and wholeheartedly recommend Justin. He is THE BEST. Not only is Justin uber knowledgeable, but he is a fantastic instructor. I learned so much from a day on the water with Justin, caught some epic fish, and had an absolutely wonderful time. I can not recommend Justin enough. I am already looking forward to getting back on his boat and fishing with him again. He is a phenomenal guide—and it is so clear that he loves what he does, and does he ever do it well!
