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.
What month is best for on a bottom fishing charter in New York?

Had a great time! Fred and his First Mate Ray were knowledgeable, helpful and hands on during the whole trip. They had live bait for us and everyone was catching fish! Memorable trip for everyone.

Trip: Inshore Fluke/Bass Trip
I recently had the good fortune to spend an afternoon with Captain Ken deep-sea fishing off Montauk. Being a novice “deep sea” fisherman I really didn’t know what to expect. But the afternoon was far better than I could have imagined. We spent more than 4 hours in glorious weather with Captain Ken showing us the ropes. We probably caught more than 20 bluefish. But what made it so special was Captain Ken’s easygoing personality, positive attitude, patience and willingness to make it a memorable day, which it was. I can’t say enough good things about the experience and would recommend spending a morning or afternoon with Captain Ken and his very talented colleague. You will not regret it. The photo below provides a sense of the great day we had.
