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 live bait fishing charter in New York?

    Great trip with Capt. Dennis and his first mate Bill. WE went with 4 kids all 10 years old. He was very accomodating with the type of fishing we did. The boat was clean and ready, gear was good, and location was great. Weather wasn't the best, but that's no ones fault. Getting to the boat was easy, parking was a breeze. We caught a bunch of fish, all different species. A few keepers. Would definitely recommend Capt. Dennis and his crew! We will be booking a full ocean tuna trip without the kids soon with Dennis. No worries or concerns booking this trip!
