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.

    CPT Logan is an awesome young man. We fish 6 or 7 holes. We landed at least 2 fish per stop. We caught Snook, Reds, Black Drum, Sheep's Head and Mangrove Snapper. We landed over 14 fish of 5 different species in less than 3 hrs. What a day. I'll definitely be back to fish w him again.

    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!

    What an unforgettable experience!! We had so much fun and caught so many fish with Captain George- I’m also pretty sure he might actually be a fish whisperer! He was so personable and accommodating. We have fallen in love with this area and can’t wait to come back next year- and you can bet that we will definitely be booking another fishing trip! Thanks for the memories, Captain George!!
