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.

    Captain Bill was good. We did order an inshore trip be he wanted to go offshore. Minimal bait. Had 2 small bags of squid then we used cut bait from what we caught. Most fish were not keepers but did reel in a bunch of fish. One amberjack. Kept a lot of fish for his dog.

    Captain Bill was a blast to go out with. We had a great trip with him and made a friend for life. Cap, thank you for the memories and the experience you shared with us. The boat, the customer service, and the equipment were all above par.

    Captain David was fantastic! His knowledge and expertise made for an incredible fishing trip. We caught plenty of fish, and he went above and beyond to engage our kids, teaching them about fishing, bait, and boats along the way. He took us to multiple spots and was determined to help us land a big one—and we sure did! We had an amazing time and are already planning our next trip with him in the coming months. Highly recommend!
