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.
What month is best for on a bottom fishing charter in Massachusetts?
The most popular season to go on a bottom fishing charter in Massachusetts is summer, and most anglers book their trips 14 days in advance.

What a fantastic day on the water! We caught a bonito, lots of tautog and a tiny lizard fish. Rich is knowledgeable and passionate about fishing. You won’t regret heading out with Captain Rich!

Trip: Cape Cod Porgy Fishing
What an AMAZING experience! Today was a great day to make a memory! The weather and water were perfect. Captain Jason was knowledgeable, friendly and patient as he taught us how to fish. We laughed, sang boat rock songs, a most of all, everyone caught several fish! Capt, Jason even filleted them for us before debarking the boat. Everyone in our group had a blast. Can’t wait to do it again!

Richie was an awesome captain, he made sure that we caught fish and we got a lot of them! Cod, Tautog, Gunner, and Pollock were a wide range of fish across several different styles of fishing. He was extremely accommodating of my wife being a relative beginner and she caught some huge fish! Richie cleaned the Tautog we could take home for us and it was amazingly tasty in the meals we made from it so far. We also saw some ocean sunfish, seals, and a small great white shark! We'd highly recommend Richie to everyone.

We had a lot of fun on this trip for our friend's bachelor party. Mike was great, knowledgeable, and put in a lot of effort to help us catch fish and have a good time.
