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.

    Awesome Fishing Experience. Blake was a joy to spend the day with. His knowledge and the top notch boat put us on the fish. If you want a great day in the Gulf of America by your self or with your group… Blake is your man.

    I guess the best thing I can say is when we come back, if we’re fishing on the Gulf, we’re going with Kyle. His First Mate Ben did a great job helping us out as well. Thanks Kyle
