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 an amazing fishing trip with Rene and caught 13 yellow tails. He is very accommodating and we will really recommend him.

    Our Crew Luis and Manuel on the "Hot Tuna" were great. They never stopped working to get on the fish. Lines and bait were always in the water and their communication was excellent. I'll be on the boat again soon.

    We had a fantastic trip with Rene! We caught around 25 fish during our trip and he fileted a few on the boat so that we could eat our own catch at the marina. Terrific experience all around and we will book again next time we’re in town.
