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.

    Trip: Bottomfishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had the best morning with Justin! He was friendly, engaging, and provided a lot of education on the area, the water, the fish, and fishing. We got to explore many different parts of the river to ensure we had ample opportunities to catch both speckled trout and red drum. We also followed a pod of porpoises, which was a fun diversion. Justin cleaned our fish at the end of our excursion which we took home and prepared that evening for dinner. Delicious fish tacos thanks for Justin's guidance and navigation! We look forward to returning to the area and having Justin take us out for another fabulous adventure.

    Trip: Crystal Coast Inshore Trip - 22'

  • ★★★★★
    Drew was a phenomenal guide. Myself and a friend were able to smoke 3 redfish between us thanks to his tips. Drew was super patient and extremely knowledgeable. As a more novice fisherman, he was very good at teaching basic casting and presentation techniques with artificial lures. This was a great introduction to fishing from a vessel without the stress of a large multi-party charter. Worth every penny!

    We had a great time despite less than ideal conditions. Kyle did an excellent job running down every possibility to find fish. We eventually caught some nice trout. All in all we learned a lot, Kyle is very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his company. We plan to take another trip with Kyle.
