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.

    Excellent experience with Capt Rick and his 1st mate for a full day trip. We caught 7 fish and kept 6. We didn’t see any other boat returning with fish on this hot day. Upon returning, Capt Rick cleaned the fish for us.

    Jeremy was great! Maintained good conversation with myself and the two young boys we brought along. They had lots of fun out on the Indian River. Jeremy definitely knows some good spots and we will be going fishing with him again.

    Trip: 5-8 Hour Sebastian Fishing

    We had a great experience for our 1st time fishing salt water fish. Communication was excellent. Received confirmation email in less than an hour. Then followed our boarding pass via email. Rob also sent me a personal text w/ a choice of launch sites and a direct way to contact him. Phone or text. Very personal touch in my humble opinion. We met at the exact time scheduled. Then there was the fishing!!! We really never had a moment without action. Within 10 minutes we were catching fish. It continued until we ran out of bare. Took a quick detour & we caught some more bare. Just more fish to catch. I thought it fun. Went back to fishing. We were having a problem landing the really big ones. However, one memorable moment was when I had a big fighter on, then a shark came & ate my fish, cutting my line. What a fish story, but it's true! Rob is a great, friendly guy. Easy to talk/joke with. I highly recommend you try this, if even for 4 hrs like we did. The price for 2 people is well worth it! Try it yourself. Memorable trip.
