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.

    Captain Jim was fantastic. From the start, our communication was quick and easy. He prepared us with what to expect and what the game plan would be for the day. Upon arrival, Captain Jim immediately welcomed us and briefed us on the safety protocols. Once we were out in the ocean trolling, he monitored and prepared all of the lines while entertaining us and feeding us with endless information. Once the fish was on, he coached us through the reel-in process and expertly removed the fish from the line, and encouraged all of us to take a photo with the fish. We would certainly recommend Captain Jim and we will be re-booking with him in the near future!

    Capt Brian was fantastic. I took my two boys and we caught fish all day. Five different species of fish including 2 big clown knife fish. Capt was professional, knowledgeable and had everything we needed on the boat for a great day of fishing. I strongly recommend Capt Brian for a great day on the water.

    It was an excellent trip. We had fun and caught lots of fish. My two nephews loved it and are ready to go again. Skip was a very nice guy and certainly knows a lot about the variety of fish that exists in Lake Ida.

    Captain Craig was an excellent guide and has the heart of a teacher! He lead us to all the spots where fish were biting and taught my teenage son, who didn’t even want to come out, what a great time the outdoors can be. The entire CaptainExperiences.com was very easy and excellent communication all throughout the process. If anyone is on the fence they should just do it! Especially if you get a chance to book with Captain Craig!

  • ★★★★★
    Capt' Bob offered us a great trip at a last minute notice. We went out of Riviera Beach Inlet which we found easily through google maps.Once locating Capt. Bob and his boat we hopped on board and got after it. Bob put us onto fish pretty quickly once we were out in the ocean. His Boat was clean and properly provisioned as per the itinerary. Oh by the way I brought my daughter, son-in-law and grandson (12 years of age and very inquisitive). All had a positive experience and we landed two sail fish over the course of the day. All in all my experience with the family rates 5 starts. Here's a boast that is the reel deal!!!
