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.

    Trip: Big Boat Mixed Bag Full Day

  • ★★★★★
    We have chartered a lot of boats in the past, but this was by far the best! And seriously… our last was 3 1/2 weeks ago and they remembered us from our catch on another boat! If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, Papa Bear Too Charters is absolutely the way to go! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. The captain was knowledgeable, professional, fun, and made everyone feel comfortable the entire trip.My SIL gets seasick and somehow didn’t. Ha! You can tell they truly care about giving their guests an amazing experience — not just another charter trip. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the attention to detail was top-notch. Phone communication before the charter helped us all figure out the best way to spend the day catching fish both trolling and stationary. Everything was provided as well as ice cold drinks, etc! Whether you’re experienced or brand new, they make the trip enjoyable for everyone. The scenery, the atmosphere, and the memories we made were priceless. What really stood out was how personable and genuine the crew was. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time possible, and it honestly felt like spending the day with friends who know exactly how to create a perfect adventure. Highly recommend Papa Bear Too Charters to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable experience. We’ll definitely be booking again! Wanted to quickly post a review because we are so grateful, but we’re busy cooking up WAY more fish than we could capture in just a couple pictures! :

    Great experience, the boat was well rigged and stocked. The mate, Jeff, did an amazing job. We pulled away from the dock right on time and had a great day on the water.

    Trip: 1/2 Day Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great morning out on the water with Captain Richard and crew. Weather was great, water was a tad choppy but we still caught 2 Bonita, a couple tuna and a barracuda! Mate Dave said it was perfect eating at that size. Took him at his word and made a ceviche. Excellent! Who knew? And our small catch tuna made great poke bowls! We let the 5 ft shark go on his way! Cap Richard piloted us through the chop, excellent views, a decent catch. Plans to go again soon! Want to be on the ocean catching some dinner, book it with Capt Richard!
