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.

    “An Outstanding Guide Captain!” I had the privilege of joining Captain Alex a recent trip and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, Captain Alex displayed unmatched professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion for his work. His knowledge of the area, from its history to its hidden gems, was incredible. Captain Alex] kept us engaged with fascinating stories and answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. His ability to navigate challenging situations with ease and ensure everyone’s safety and comfort was truly commendable. We had no issues achieving our limits. What stood out most was his warm and approachable demeanor. He made us feel welcome and ensured we had an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for a guide captain who goes above and beyond, Captain Alexis is the one to choose.

    The fishing trip we took was great, we caught some fish and one good one got away, but the trip was good, we ran into a little weather but it comes with the territory, but I would recommend you go with this company

    James did an excellent job. The fishing was very slow during the day but he kept us moving in an effort to find them which we eventually did. Both of us ended the day with our limits. Easy to talk too. Very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him to anyone and I’m planing to go with him again next time.

    Great captain, great fishing! We had experienced and inexperienced fishermen on the trip. Captain Alex took the time to teach and mentor the less experienced while supporting our more skilled fishermen. Just a great trip all the way around. We will most definitely be back for more. Thanks Alex, Semper Fi!
