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: 6-8 Hour Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    I would give the overall trip a 6 out of 10, Mike our guide did all he could to put os on fish, without much luck. I believe the wind was a factor and in our never leaving the shallow sound areas. Also Mike stated with a child aboard he wasn’t comfortable with leaving the shallower sound areas. The overall experience was not what it was advertised to be. Maybe we will have better luck next time. Tom Terry

    Mike was the captain, but we still had a nice time. Fish were not biting today, and we only caught two bluefish over the 4 hour trip. However, he took us up and down the coast in attempts to catch more.
