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 the best time fishing with Robert! Neither of us had much experience before fishing..certainly not other than freshwater lakes so all new to us and Robert made it so fun, teaching us all about different techniques specific to the different fish..we caught so many varieties and just had a ball! Highly recommend!!! Can't wait to do it again!

    Trip: Biloxi Inshore Light Tackle Trip

  • ★★★★★
    I give captain Mark a 5 star! He is knowledgeable, friendly, and a real pleasure to do business with. Although we didn't have the pleasure of many different species of fish biting it was still worth the monies spent to be out on the water with him and his deck hand Tyler. I would recommend him 100%.

    We had an awesome trip with Captain Leo. He put us on fish early and often. We had novice to advanced fishermen in the boat and he catered to us all. Definitely would book again.
