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.

Excellent experience! Rick was very knowledgeable and personable. He was not afraid to change locations and tactics to ensure the best experience. I would definitely fish with him again.

Bud was awesome. Weather kept changing up on us, and he was able to change plans to get us on fish. My dad and I had a great time and caught solid fish.

Did the 4 hour sound fishing trip. Our captain was bud. He was a super nice guy and a really awesome boat captain. It was my wife and I and two kids, and we all caught fish. Super amazing day. You could tell that bud really enjoyed what he does and went out of his way to make sure we had an awesome time. Highest possible review.

Great experience! I'm fairly certain the man speaks fish. They were cold from the recent storm, but Mike knew just where to put us and the moment the sun came up we were on 'em. Cannot speak highly enough of Mike
