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 artificial lure fishing charter in Puerto Vallarta?

We had a great trip with Buoy and Chenta. Right on time start in the morning. Buoy is very knowledgeable about all the marine life and both he and Chenta were very observant and were able to locate dolphins and feeding fish. Both my daughter and I were able to reel in Jack Crevalle fish! They also showed us a school of rays we would not have noticed without their observations. We really enjoyed the snorkeling around coral island - the main reason for booking our sea adventure. We also enjoyed the short hike to an observation point. The trip was personalized to us -

Trip: Coral Island Excursion 🪸
I went out with Captain Danny, and his son, first mate, Danny. I had my 2 teenage sons with me to form our group of 3. These guys were excellent. They were so passionate about getting us on the Rooster we were chasing. We were around the target most of the day. Water visibility made it tough. We ended up checking the box on a great Gallo. What’s even better, these guys kept going to try to get my boys on their own Roosters. I would highly recommend this trip.

Trip: Punta Mita Roosterfish
Incredible morning fishing with Miguel who picked us up and dropped us off at The One & Only Mandarina from the beach. We saw whales, dolphins, and caught rooster fish, jurel, and a bonito. Captain and first mate were amazing, 10/10 experience. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Daniel is an excellent fishing guide!! His boat, a super panga is very good. I was impressed that he was more concerned about our fishing success than the exact amount of time the trip was booked for!! I will definitely book with him again!!
