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.

    Couldn’t go on charter due to problems with the boat, however I need to give a shout out to captain Drew, who found us a very last minute replacement to make our trip a big success with captain Mason thank you very much

    Drew was a phenomenal guide. Myself and a friend were able to smoke 3 redfish between us thanks to his tips. Drew was super patient and extremely knowledgeable. As a more novice fisherman, he was very good at teaching basic casting and presentation techniques with artificial lures. This was a great introduction to fishing from a vessel without the stress of a large multi-party charter. Worth every penny!
