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.

    Anthony was fantastic with our 13 year old son! We will definitely book with him again. We caught fish for two dinners:)

    Trip: Beautiful Backcountry Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Jamie took us out in the early afternoon, and even though we knew the bite was a little slow at this time, we just wanted to get out and enjoy the water around beautiful Key West. He made the most of our four hours; we hit around four spots and even cruised over to the ocean side to try and find the bite that way. In this 4-hour trip, I got a crash course in fly fishing from one of the best. Jamie’s super laid-back, easy to talk to, and knows the area like the back of his hand. We wrapped up the trip with a gorgeous sunset; it was a 10/10 day all around. Even with the slow bite, it was one of the most scenic, educational, and unforgettable trips I’ve ever been on!

    Trip: Key West On Light Tackle & Flies

  • ★★★★★
    Sean is the man!! We hopped out for an afternoon half day right on the tail end of some weird weather patterns and didn't have high hopes, but Sean relentlessly tried new techniques and locations to get us on some fish. I don't know that I've ever been out with a guide who has moved more or tried more techniques in a 4 hour fishing trip. He knew exactly when to say "this isn't working the fish aren't here, lets move on" which is an underrated skill in a guide. We found the flats empty of the usual suspects (tarpon permit bonefish), but we pivoted and hooked into cero mackerel, mutton snapper, and some barracuda. Sean has been fishing in Key West for 30+ years and won't steer you wrong!
