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.

Great experience! Highly recommend fishing with Jordan

Had a great day fishing with Captain. Cord caught a few Spanish mackerels and even real in a good size barracuda. Cord was very flexible with us rescheduling since it rained on our original day.

My son, my friends and their kids all had an awesome time with Captain Ryan and his first mate Beau. Every part of the experience was enjoyable, from scheduling and communicating all the way through, walking away with some giant bags full of nicely filleted Spanish mackerel. Captain Ryan is an expert in these waters, knows exactly how to efficiently navigate them and put you in the position to catch a bunch of fish while having a great time. He and Beau work together seamlessly. Beau was expertly handling the three lines we had in the water, was extremely patient with the kids who were eager to be very hands-on, and tremendously efficient in removing the fish from the lines and getting them back in the water quickly. We walked out with 14 keepers, but had many more on the line throughout the day, which made it extremely engaging and exciting. The boat was super clean, easily access and equipped with anything we needed. In total, A+ experience and we will definitely be booking with him again next time we are in townz
