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 can I say about this trip. Yes I'm sure we got a bit lucky, but Captain Jake got his own bait, put us on fish immediately and we had a blast. We caught 6 different species on light tackle from spanish mackerel, to catfish, to black tip sharks. It was already an amazing trip. Then we got the heavy tackle out and hooked into a hammerhead, more black tips, and the absolute icing on the cake was a giant 150 lb Tarpon. This was my dream, and Jake made it happen. I couldn't recommend him more. He is very knowledgeable, takes his profession very seriously and is fun and personable at the same time! Do not hesitate to pick captain Jake for your next trip

    Absolutely great experience!!! My 81 year old Dad, my two sons ages 25 and 24 and myself 57 had the time of our lives. It was all our first times. We caught so many fish, so many different kinds of fish. I was truly impressed with Brad and Ben. They took care of my Dad with his age, they were funny, they were professional, they schooled us on fishing and what we were catching. We watched them cut up the fish, then showed us where to go to have them cook it up for us and it was the best tasting fish we've ever had. I highly recommend them and can't wait to go back for another phenomenal experience.

    Amazing Last-Minute Fishing Charter! We booked a last-minute 4-hour fishing charter and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Captain Brad and Ben were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the trip. They took us to several different spots to make sure we got the most out of our time on the water. We ended up catching a variety of fish and had a blast doing it. Highly recommend this charter for anyone looking for a fun and productive fishing trip!

    We absolutely loved this charter. We were catching a crazy amount of fish. We didn't have a real preference on what we caught, just that we wanted to catch and they definitely delivered on that. We will definitely be booking again in the future.
