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.

    Michael was awesome. We had to cut the trip short due to my son and I being extremly seasick but the husband and brothers were still able to catch a few fish including a barracuda. Michael was very understanding and accommodating the entire time...no complaints.

    Trip: Bottomfishing/Trolling Combo

  • ★★★★★
    We had an absolute blast on our morning charter with Captain Ryan and first mate Bo! They were fantastic from start to finish-Captain Ryan is an awesome guy, unbelievably polite, and extremely accommodating throughout the entire trip. We had great luck on the water and pulled in a wide variety of fish, including Spanish mackerel, croaker, sea bass, bluefish, and even a solid sea trout! Top-notch experience from start to finish. 10/10, highly recommend booking a trip with them!

    Mike and the crew were awesome! We headed out despite rough seas and they put us on fish! We brought in over 50 fish and it wore us out! Mike and Kyle were great and kept First mate Kody busy helping us out all day as the fish were coming in! He was wonderful! A+ and highly recommend them!
