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.

    Robbie did an excellent job, very personable and knowledgeable. Several boats were on the River/lake. The two of us actually caught 24 small to medium size trout. Robbie is very experienced and he has a few tricks up his sleeve that allowed us to catch so many fish in the short four hour spam, even with so many fishing boats on the River/Lake.

    Trip: Table Rock Lake /Branson Area Lakes

  • ★★★★★
    We were Brian‘s first customers in 2015 and at that time he was working table rock Lake and my son was 14, 10 years later. He’s now working Laje Taney Como as a trout fishing guide and we’ve learned a lot of tips on trout fishing just like we learned a lot of tips on bass fishing years ago! Here is an Eagle Scout and it shows! he’s very polite. He’s excellent to fish with! We had a lot in common. Years ago He lived in the same area that we did so it was a lot of fun we learned Interesting catch sayings like when we put Ilthe trout back in the water, he said, “now say catch you later!”

    Captain Experiences couldn't have come up with a more qualified and knowledgeable fishing guide than Ken we really enjoyed our time on Mark Twain Lake with Captain Ken he made sure our time on his boat was to make us feel comfortable and as stress free during our fishing time together we would highly recommend Captain Ken and Captain Experiences for your next fishing adventure Mickey & Paula O'fallon Mo.

    Trip: Crappie Fishing On Mark Twain Lake

  • ★★★★★
    I give my experience with Captain Ken five stars! The day started out overcast with light showers. But once the clouds parted the action began. I caught my limit of croppies quickly over the next few hours! Captain Ken knew where to go and how to change course to meet the current conditions. He was knowledgeable about this type of fishing and with his coaching, I caught more than anyone on the surrounding boats. Captain Ken's equipment options as far as poles, jigs and electronics are first rate. He is easy and fun to be around and helps you be the best fisherman you can be. Mark Twain Lake is a gorgeous spot and I'll definitely be back to join Captain Ken for another adventure. - CC
