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.

  • ★★★★★
    Our family had the best time out on the water with Captain Jason. My son, who is 7 years old, has been talking about his experience all night. The captain was knowledgeable, fun and helpful throughout our adventure. Wendy made the pre booking easy prior to the trip. Also, We were able to keep our fish and have a delicious fish fry that evening! We highly recommend this fishing guided trip! Thank you!
