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.

    My dad and I really enjoyed our trip with Captain Mike. The fishing was a little slow, but that was not Mike's fault and just part of fishing. We really appreciated the genuine effort he put in to trying different spots and methods to put us on fish, which ultimately got us to catch a few Blues.

    Jason was awesome! He got my daughters lines all hooked up and helped them every time they caught one. He did their bait and beings they didn’t wanna actually touch the fish he released the fish for them too. About half way through the girls needed a break so Jason n I hung out n fished and bs’d a bit. Definitely gonna be going back for another trip!!!
