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 Nick, got us on the fish. He was very patient and taught me a lot about fly fishing for Red Fish. I fly fish streams a rivers out west where I live so this was a different experience. I highly recommend Captain Nick and will be back in the future.

    Had a great time with Alex. He too is to a good spot that was just our speed and worked hard to help us keep our lines in the water. We caught bunch of speckled trout and mackerel. Then hit a nice spot to swim and shell before heading back in. Alex was personable and helped make our experience a memorable one. His boat was perfect for our group of 5. We would highly recommend heading out with Alex!

    Cody was amazing. I have two teenage daughters and he was very patient and helpful. We caught over 80 fish in 3.5 hours. It was a great experience!! We caught Sea Trout, Ladyfish, Catfish, Jack Fish, Spanish Mackerel, and Flounder. When we return to Sarasota, we will be giving Cody a call for another trip.
