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.

    Andrew was great! He was great with my 11 year old son, taught him some things about his equipment and fishing in general. He was knowledgeable about the lake and had a game plan of where to go and when to adjust spots. Landed this absolute monster catfish at the end as well! My son had a blast which is what it was all about! I would highly recommend!

    I went fishing with my grandson and had a great time. Our original captain was Brian, but ended up with Matt. He was an exceptional guide and teacher for us novices. He showed us how to hold and cast our line. We caught our limit, and ended throwing several back that were too big. I couldn’t be more happier with our fishing trip,

    We are not experienced at fishing for trout and Blake was patient, fun and knowledgable of the best locations and techniques to catch amazing fish. We caught 43 fish on the trip and had a lot of fun. We had an awesome time with Blake and will definitely book with him again!
