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.

Riviera Beach Fishing Overview

There are three different major bodies of water for anglers to choose from which consist of inshore, offshore, and even freshwater lakes. Inshore and offshore fishing is strong with bucket list species always biting and Lake Okeechobee offers world-class bass fishing.

Riviera Beach Freshwater Fishing

In Riviera Beach the nearby canals or lake offer the opportunity to catch a variety of fish species. These waters are great for catching largemouth bass but the peacock bass and clown knife fish are also popular. Other species you can catch here are bluegill, redear sunfish, sunshine bass, catfish, and more exotic species including spotted tilapia, Oscars, and Mayan cichlids. With plenty of lakes to the north and Lake Okeechobee to the west, there is no shortage of freshwater fishing opportunities in Riviera Beach.

Lake Okeechobee sits only a few miles inland from Riviera Beach and has some of the best largemouth bass fishing in the world. This lake frequently hosts the Bassmaster Elite Series which often produces double-digit bass at the weigh-ins. The seemingly endless supply of big-bellied females makes this a prime spot for someone looking to catch their new personal record.

Riviera Beach Inshore Fishing

The greater Palm Beaches area has plenty of coastal and backwater fishing spots that create a rich inshore fishery. Inshore trips usually take place near inlets, piers, shorelines, or flats, and create year-round fishing opportunities. Powerful fish like snook, tarpon, and barracudas patrol these waters waiting to ambush prey or your bait. Other popular inshore species include angler favorites like redfish, trout, jacks, pompano, and sharks. With so much to offer, it’s no surprise that Riviera Beach has become a highly sought-after fishing destination.

Offshore fishing in Riviera Beach

If you want to chase trophy sailfish, head out into the gulf stream to the legendary Sailfish Alley which is known for being packed with fish. This stretch of coast is also teeming with mahi-mahi, wahoo, tuna, and kingfish. If you would rather deep drop bait, head out the reefs for snappers, groupers, and hogfish. There are endless top notch deep sea fishing charters out of Riviera Beach that are sure to be perfect for any group.

    Top notch charter! Ricky was experienced and knows the waters. Guide handled the work and I caught the fish. Couldn’t ask for more. Oh, and if you’re open to taking some fishing tips on how to real in the big ones, you’ll probably land more fish.
