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.

    A few buddies and I went out with Clint and Kyle this past Sat (Oct 18) and we had a fantastic day. We caught close to 100 Black Sea Bass and had about 30 keepers. Clint is an experienced captain and fisherman and knew exactly where to go. Kyle was super helpful and kept our lines active with bait. I would highly recommend these guys and will definitely fish with them again.

    Frank did an excellent job putting us on the fish. We caught 26 fish and 8 keepers in 4 hours. Frank grew up in Wildwood, fishing and knows the back bays 💯

    Trip: Stone Harbor Inshore/Nearshore

  • ★★★★★
    Frank clearly knows these waterways and is a true master of Stone Harbor / Cape May. He took us to 7 spots in 4 hours to find the fish and even stayed out with us longer than the original length of the trip. It also seems like he really cares about his customers and was great with the more green members of our group. Would easily book another trip next time we're in the area. --Attison with Captain Experiences
