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.

    Trip: Back Bay Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Our family had a wonderful fishing trip with Jeff. We had our 7 year old granddaughter with us and, thanks to Jeff’s help with her fishing rod and making sure she saw her catches up close, she loved this fishing experience. We caught 6 flounder and several other kinds of fish. Jeff was great with communication and scheduling the trip for the best conditions. I strongly recommend him for a private fishing experience.

    I had a really great experience with Frank. He took me to a beach where the fish were biting and I caught a lot of big bluefish, which is one of the species I was hoping to catch while here. I had a lot of fun; Frank is knowledgeable and helpful, and he gave me great tips on how to fish in the area. A worthwhile experience!!
