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.

    Great guy, put us on fish. Had a blast

    We had a great day of fishing. Captain Kent and his wife worked very hard to ensure we caught fish. We trolled out in the gulf and caught 6 nice amberjacks, which we had to release since they were out of season. He then movers us to an area that had some structure to it and we hit 3 nice false tuna and 1 large fish that eventually threw the hook. Captain Kent filleted the tuna for us once docked and told us to eat them blackened, which turned out very tasty. We plan on using him again next year when we come back.

    We had a great time with Pasco today. We highly recommend Pasco! He worked hard to keep us on fish the whole time. We lost quite a few but that was on us, not Pasco. We plan to look him up again when we're back in town!

    My fishing trip with Captain Kent and his wife Bobbi was an incredible experience from start to finish. They both made us feel welcome and comfortable, with Captain Kent expertly guiding us to the best fishing spots, while Bobbi shared her knowledge of the area and tips helped us reel in some impressive catches, we had everything we needed. Not only did he take us to prime fishing spots, but he also shared delicious recipes for preparing our catch, making the experience even more special. Along the way, he pointed out dolphins playing in the water and fighter jets take off from the airport. Their teamwork and hospitality truly set this trip apart, and it was a pleasure to spend the morning with such a friendly and knowledgeable duo on the water.

    What an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Cliff and Austin! From the moment we set out, it was clear that Captain Cliff knows these waters like the back of his hand. He took us straight to the best spots, where we caught an impressive mix of red snapper, vermillion snapper, trigger fish, amberjack, and even grouper. Austin was fantastic—he was right there to help us with baiting, teaching us the best techniques for casting and reeling in our catches, and making sure we were having a great time every step of the way. His patience and expertise made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a top-tier fishing experience, Captain Cliff and Austin are the team to book. Highly recommend, and I can't wait to go back!

    Captain Steve was excellent. He moved our fishing location to get better results. He was on time, friendly and knowledgable. He was great with my 2 grandkids, 8 and 10. We didn't catch much edible fish but caught quite a few others - 5 species in total. I would recommend Captain Steve and would choose him again if the occasion arises.

    Capt Hunter was great! He was prepped and ready to go for a 2 hr trip and we were immediately catching fish. We had 3 tween girls with us and he made it easy, enjoyable and educational. They had a blast and enjoyed their catch for dinner that night!

    If you’re looking to have the BEST time fishing in Destin. Captain Dave is the ONLY choice. Best fishing experience I’ve ever had. It was tough fishing and very windy and he still managed to get us on fish and I caught my personal best redfish. Dave is a character and that made the trip so much better. Loved every second of it. Wish I had booked a longer trip! I’ll be back next year and I’m only booking with Dave again. Planning to go out multiple days next year with him. Couldn’t recommend his charter enough.
