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: Reeling In Memories

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great experience. This was our first time booking with Captain Steve, but our second time fishing off PCB. Steve exceeded our expectations. He made sure our little guy had a memorable time. He was great with our 5 year old and appreciated his love of fishing. In our 3 hours we saw dolphins, jelly fish, and sea turtles. We also caught bonitas, King mackerel, Spanish mackerel, trigger fish, red grouper, red snapper, ruby lips, and remora. Steve fileted the mackerals for us to bring home. We will make sure to book with him next year. Thank you Captain Steve!
