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: Jacksonville - 6 Hr. River & Marsh

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Bill was amazing! The winds were a little rough so he suggested to cut the trip from an 8-hour to a 6-hour. I’m so glad he did because I was throwing up with those waves! He was very knowledgeable on the species in the waters and what techniques to use to catch them. He was so nice and personable and really kept us all engaged. He cleaned and cut our catch afterwards, which was a big help. His prices were the fairest out of all other charters, as well which is high praises since the fuel prices have gone up. Overall, great experience and we would definitely do it again.

    Trip: Jacksonville Nearshore/ Offshore

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Bill was good. We did order an inshore trip be he wanted to go offshore. Minimal bait. Had 2 small bags of squid then we used cut bait from what we caught. Most fish were not keepers but did reel in a bunch of fish. One amberjack. Kept a lot of fish for his dog.

    Frank was the best captain! He has great knowledge of the area and offers many different fishing experiences. He was also very encouraging and helpful when reeling in our monster of a fish! We definitely plan on taking another trip with him as our captain soon!
