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.

    Thank you Matt, we had a blast. You got us on the fish fast and kept us fishing. We just had the best fish dinner with our own fish that you fileted for us. No fresher meal around.

    Captain Gorge is top notch. He put us on fish and worked the entire time we were fishing. Everyone had a great time and we caught a variety of species. I will definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to chatter fish. Five star +.

    Trip: Tampa Bay Inshore Fishing Fun!!!

    I had an amazing day on the water with Capt. George! I mentioned early on in the trip I had never hooked into a Snook before. George made it his mission to remedy that! He knew exactly how to find our target species. With some professional tips from George I reeled in over a dozen hard fighting Snook! When the bite turned off, he knew right where to look next and we were on them again. There were several boats around, and we were the only ones catching! To wrap up our trip we caught some speckled trout and mangrove snapper to fill the cooler as well! Highly recommend Capt. George!

    Joey and Linda were great pair! The fish were a little slow but they moved us around until we were sure to have enough for a good meal! They kept us out until we had a decent catch! We appreciated their time and patience with us as a couple of us were beginners.
