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.

    Captain is a real professional!! We were on snook minutes from leaving the dock. We caught Red grouper, gag grouper, mangrove snapper and snook. My wife and I highly recommend Captain James.

    Captain Ray was knowledgable about area and fishing spots. He was a great guy and a well trained captain. However, we paid for 5 people on a charter and only 2 - 3 poles were ever in the water. This was due to high chop but still somewhat disappointing. I would try captain Ray again.

    James is the man! He knew right where the fish would be. He was also great with our kids helping them and teaching them the ways, especially with our young daughter who beat us all. Both kids had a blast. Our family had a great time! We will definitely be going out with you againa. Thanks again, James!

    My son and I had a great time with Roland. We did the Inshore charter and were catching fish from the first cast. Took home some nice speckled trout. Looking forward another charter with Roland.
