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.
What month is best for on a jigging charter in Portland?

Trip: Garibaldi Bottom Fishing
We had an great experience out on the ocean with this guide. From the start, everything was well-organized and professional, but still laid-back enough to just enjoy the day. The boat was clean and well-equipped, and you could tell the guide really knew the water and where to find fish. We were on fish quickly, and the action stayed steady throughout the trip. The guide was great about helping when needed but also let us do our own thing, which made it even more enjoyable. Whether it was baiting hooks, giving tips, or netting fish, they were right there without overdoing it. What stood out most was the knowledge and effort—they clearly put in the time to make sure we had a successful trip. We ended up bringing home a solid catch and had a great time doing it. Highly recommend this guide if you’re looking for a fun, productive day on the ocean. I’d definitely book again.

We had an absolute blast with Captain Kelly. We were all new to Salmon wishing and Kelly took care of it all from bait to fillet. He treated us with respect and did not hesitate when we ended the trip early so we could use the restroom. My mom, girlfriend and I had fish for months by the end of our trip.
