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.

    First time deep sea fishing. Phenomenal experience. Captain Ryan definitely knew his stuff. Four hour fishing trip was tiring and packed with fun. It was tiring because we were constantly reeling in fish. We will make this our mandatory activity when we visit Destin.

    Cory was a perfect fit for our tired vacationing family. He knew exactly were to find the fish that would make our experience exciting. He has a wealth of knowledge for the area that made the trip educational and exciting to be in his boat. Thank you Cory for a lovely morning fishing trip.
