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.

    Awesome Captain. Great boat and equipment. Got us on fish quickly and we caught fish the whole trip! He has a great attitude and is very personable. He tries to cater your trip to your level of fishing experience and what species you are targeting to get the best results for you. Highly recommend booking a charter with him! We will book another charter with him if we are in the area again.

    My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Tim. He's a great guy to fish with and was a lot of fun to fish with. While we caught many fish, it would have been better if the bigger ones cooperated.

    Captain was very nice, he rigged all of the poles and took us to lots of different locations trying to find fish. Used all kinds of bait, gave us pointers, but because of a tropical storm the week before the fish just were not biting.

    We had a great time with Captain Tim. He is a seasoned guide that knows the area waters and knows where the fish are. He took the time to make sure my kids were casting properly and made sure they were never out of bait. We all enjoyed the trip and caught a lot of fish.

    This was exactly the fishing fun we needed for our super spur of the moment trip with a teenaged kid that wanted to catch fish in Florida. Lots of different species, super friendly contain and never a dull moment. It helped that the weather was great and we caught lots of fish.

    Went as a family trip of 4 and had an amazing time! Dustin and Mike were very professional and attentive. We had 2 newer fishers on board and they made sure we were comfortable. We caught our limit of fish! We’ve taken multiple charters in the area and this has by far been the best one! Highly recommend and we definitely will be rebooking the next time we visit!

    Captain Kenny was outstanding. He got us reeling in fish right away. We kept him bust baiting hooks and netting big fish until it was time to call it a day. Great day fishing. Highly recommend, thank you very much. Looking forward to another fishing trip with him next year.
