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.

What month is best for on a artificial lure fishing charter in Sarasota?

    Got us on the fish right away. Cannot tell you how many trips I have been on where just catching a few is a problem. Dillon knew exactly where to go and moved when the fishing changed. We caught so many species I cannot recall them all. Way over 20 fish on the trip with at least 5 Keeper mangrove snappers. Highly recommend this captains experience!!!

    Trip: 8 Hours Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Steve was super flexible with us when we had to make a change, and also with the rain. He communicated clearly, regularly, and well! He knew the best times and place to fish! He really moved and kept our lines baited with fresh bait and with what was good for what we were fishing for. He is a fun guy, knows his stuff, came prepared, and made the experience great! We all caught at least one fish! (Not all pictured) And, one was a keeper! He filleted it for us right there (we brought a cooler with ice). It was the best fish taco I have ever had!! We would recommend him and go fishing with him again!
