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.

    My son and I had a great time inshore fishing with captain Anthony. He immediately put us on a few epic tarpon, wow what an amazing experience!! He knows all the great spots to fish. We caught Jack Crevalle, snapper, shark, tarpon and a few others. Anthony is super friendly and ensures you are well taken care of and have a great time. I highly recommend using him as your Miami fishing guide. I will book him next time we are in Miami.

    We went out with Captain Anthony last night and had a wonderful time. A native Miamian, he knew the area and knewvwhere the fish were. We had my 12 year old nephew with us and Anthony was great with him. He took the time to instruct the young lad in proper technique and made sure his rig was baited up and in the water as much as possible. The result? My little nephew outfished us all and he was thrilled. The only problem is we cant shut him up. He is still going on about the adventure declaring it his "best fishing trip ever". We tied into several tarpon that bested us novice tarpon fisherman, but came home with a nice mess of large mangrove snapper that we a lot of fun to catch and are now being breaded, fried and served up with slaw, hushpuppies and fries for a real southern lunch. The big ones are going on the grill whole to be deboned table-side with garlic lemon butter and served with mushroom risotto and ceasar salad. Plenty for the whole family. I heartily recommend a trip out with Captain Anthony for a good time, good eats and memories for a lifetime. Thank you Captain!

    Chris is an awesome guide. Real Miami native who knows the bay better than anyone. He really cares about fishing and he is not on a hard "trip ending" time. Chris also suggested some local Miami restaurants and took us there after our trip. A certified damn good guide in my book.

    Jason was excellent. Throughout the trip, he was knowledgable, kind and ensured that we had a great time. He knew all about the species we caught, shared anecdotes from his previous trips and stories from his 15 years of fishing in the keys. We would highly recommend Jason as a guide and we’ll be sure to go out again with him the next time we’re back in the keys
