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.

    Captain Mikey did a great job keeping my kids (12 & 14) engaged and finding spots to land plenty of fish. No keepers on this day but the experience was memorable.

    Katie was a rockstar! We loved our time on the boat. She was great with the entire family. We landed a 300 lb bull shark that wouldn’t have happened without her exceptional navigating. She had the perfect temperament with novice fishermen. We highly recommend Katie!
