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.

    We had a great time. The fish were not biting but our captain Muscles tried his hardest to put us on fish. The time of year was just not the best for fishing. We did catch a few nice size Rock fish. You can't beat a day on the water fishing with friends. The crew had good conversation and tried multiple spots to get the fish on hooks. We appreciated the effort and the atmosphere. Thank you Muscles, Scott and Wayne was with us in spirit.
