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.

Anglers in this area can target popular catches such as King Mackerel, known for their strength and speed, and Red Snapper, prized for their fighting ability and taste. The area is also conducive to catching Cobia, Tarpon, and various types of Grouper and Snapper.

The city's proximity to the Gulf Stream and deeper Atlantic waters allows anglers to experience a range of fishing adventures, from nearshore excursions targeting smaller species to deep-sea voyages in pursuit of larger game.

The city offers a multitude of fishing charters with experienced captains who are experts in navigating these waters. These charters cater to all levels of experience, providing options from shorter trips ideal for families or beginners to full-day adventures offshore. St. Augustine's captains are knowledgeable about the best fishing spots and techniques, ensuring a productive and enjoyable fishing experience.

The diversity of the marine habitat and the variety of game fish available provide exciting challenges for those seeking a serious fishing adventure.

    Captain Troy was great! He put us on some big fish and we all had a blast. His boat is new, well equipped and comfortable. We look forward to going out with Captain Troy again the next time we are in St Augustine

    Trip: 6-8 Hour Offshore - 28' Seafox

  • ★★★★★
    Best fishing day ever! We told Captain Troy we were serious about getting "keeper" fish to eat, and he did not disappoint. A full 12-hour trip into the Atlantic got us 46 delicious keepers (variety of snapper species, Jacks, Cobia, trigger fish, and more) with plenty of non-stop action, thanks to Troy's laser-focus on the fish. He provided good coaching on the best methods to drop our lines and haul up the bounty. He kept the boat on top of fish continuously, and had us haul up our lines as the boat drifted off so he could reposition the boat back over the fish. We literally spent no time at all just hanging out waiting for bites in an empty ocean. He knows some good spots; for the most part we were the only boat on the water as far as the eye could see; we only noticed a couple of other boats wander over toward us in one location. Action also included fighting with one or two giant groupers (line snapped off before we could get them to the boat) and a couple of small sharks. It got exciting when we had to quickly haul in a snapper to save it from the jaws of an impressive 6-foot hammerhead. Overall an exciting, successful, exhausting day on the water from sunup to sundown. Enjoyed grilled Cobia and Jack kabobs for dinner that evening.
