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.

    Gage and Noah were great. They knew where to find the fish and kept us catching several kinds of fish throughout the trip. We went as a family and they kept the kids busy and were a big help showing them exactly what to do. I would definitely recommend them!

    Trip: Tampa Bay Inshore Slam

  • ★★★★★
    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!

    Steve & crew were great! They kept our lines in the water, and attended to us quickly. The boat was clean and spacious, lots of space to get out of the sun, but maintain a breeze without getting down into the cabin. 100% would recommend you give Reel Deal a shot!

    Trip: St. Petersburg Inshore Slam

  • ★★★★★
    Greg and his mate Logan were fantastic. They were friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, efficient, and very “fishy”! We had a great day with them. I recommend Captain Greg highly.

    Trip: St. Pete Offshore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Brad and his first mate were great for our outing. Since my kids were new to ocean fishing, he kept us within a few miles of shore and knew some rocky pockets where we hauled in many fish. We had a blast. One reason I chose Capt Brad was the 33’ boat which was roomy to maneuver for our party of six. They are friendly and accommodating.

    Chris is an excellent guide (5 stars). He is very personable and we all became fishing buddies quickly. Enjoyed the action with the spotted seatrout on the flats in southern Tampa Bay.
