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 trip in Michigan?

    Jon and Kristi are a great duo, very friendly skillful and knew how to put us right on fish quick, and will work around bad weather conditions to make sure you have a great time catching fish. Will definitely be going back out with Jon and Kristi again.

    Trip: Ludington Fishing Charters

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great time. He was very nice and answered all of my many questions and even did more than he had to. Our very 1st time and it was very fun. Would recommend using his charter to anyone wanting to fish.

    Trip: Freshwater Drum Trips

  • ★★★★★
    A wonderful trip. My Florida and Washington visitors were very impressed. Muskie fishing with Captain Kurt rivaled salt water fishing they had experienced. They are already talking about another trip next summer. I recommend this trip highly.

    He was very knowledgeable, great at getting the fish (which let's face it, is the most important part), and made everyone feel welcome.
