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.

    We had a wonderful time with Captain Andy. He was super friendly and put us on fish right away. This trip was my 9 year daughter's first trip and she was asking to extend the trip the first 30 minutes in. This was truly a family friendly experience. I would and defiantly recommend using Captain Andy again. Thank you Captain Andy for a wonderful time!!!!

    We had an amazing trip. This is my 5th ocean fishing trip and it’s tied with the best. Garrett worked to make sure we caught fish and you could tell he genuinely enjoyed his work (this makes a difference). I highly recommend booking with him.
