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.

    Captain Roland was fantastic! He put us into several different areas, targeting several species and delivered our goal of taking home fresh catch for dinner. We caught snook, snapper, convict fish and sea trout. An altogether great experience for the four of us. We highly recommend and will be back next season for another outing!!

    James is one incredible individual above the captain title, with that said he moved us around on top of fish all day. Incredibly easy going and ask us exactly what we wanted and man did he deliver. Equipment was fantastic, boat is very nice and has tons of live bait. We couldn’t be happier with this charter and will absolutely take this trip again. I highly recommend as this was above and beyond an incredible experience!!!

    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.
