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 artificial lure fishing charter in San Juan?

    Trip: Backwater Tarpon, Snook, & Jacks

  • ★★★★★
    Excellent 4 hour trip today with Captain Francisco. He was very knowledgeable and patient with us. He did not mind my 9 year old casting our dink rod we brought from home. We caught several tarpon, and watched them roll around us all morning. I definitely recommend this trip!

    Trip: Puerto Rico Tarpon Excursion

  • ★★★★★
    Bucket list trip with Carlos. He really worked for the fish which were being lazy that day, but he found them! Great experience in nature and chasing tarpon. He was an expert guide and we cannot wait to go back. Basically in town and the easiest trip ever! Lunch in Loíza beforehand was an added bonus. Would highly recommend these guys.
