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 Hank was a wonderful addition to our trip! He was smart, funny and a great conversationalist. The fishing was slow but we knew that with the pre day conversation of wind and murky water. We caught an array of different species including a bonnet head shark. Thanks for making memories with us Hank! See you next trip down from Canada!

    Matt was on top of my trip and super flexible. I had to change a date last minute and he made it work for me. He set me up with Captain Adam who was a phenomenal guide. 12/10 would do this again and recommend to any one who’s interested in catching some awesome fish!

    Brandon was great! Having grown up in the area, he really knows his stuff and found us some great fishing spots. Also, he took great care and showed wonderful patience with our seven year old grandson (who had a blast fishing). I highly recommend Brandon as your boat captain and guide.

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Terry and his crew were great, the weather not so much 😄. The captain did such a great job keeping us out of the rain for long as possible. He did such a good job teaching my son the rod and all the workings, and telling us the species of the few fish we caught. If we come back to PCB, my son will for sure want a deep sea trip!

    Great trip, captain was very accommodating for me and my friends. He made the day fun even though the fishing wasn’t great. Kept trying to get us on the fish even though the bite was tough.
