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.

    These guys are Awsome!!! Captain Nick was so sick with Kidney Stones and you couldn’t tell. He still took us out, I felt so bad for him. He went straight to the E.R. after. We caught over 60 fish as soon as we put our line out we were pulling them in! Great guys, highly recommend!

    Nick was a 10/10 captain took me and my boys out for my bachelor party fishing. Within 5 mins of fishing at the spot everyone had caught a fish. We caught over 40 fish in 4 hours and had 20 keepers to take home and cook. Best part of fishing with Nick was hanging out with him. Made sure we all had a great time, will definitely be doing another trip soon with him. Don’t book with anyone else!

    Trip: 4 Hour Trip – Neptune’s Feast

  • ★★★★★
    Joey and Laura were absolutely amazing! The water was a little choppy, but that was completely out of their control. This was our 9-year-old’s first time fishing in the ocean, and Joey went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. He stayed with our son the entire trip, helping him get set up, hooking the fish for him, and letting him reel them in. The action was nonstop! We stayed on fish all day and caught more than we ever expected. Joey and Laura were knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. They also recommended a local restaurant that cooked our catch, and it was fantastic. We ended up with so much fish that we even shared some with the table next to us! The best part? On the ride back to the resort, our 9-year-old said, “I want to go fishing again tomorrow!” That pretty much says it all. We highly recommend Joey and Laura and would book with them again in a heartbeat.
