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.

    This was the first time son and I have ever fished saltwater. We have only fished freshwater. Capt. Kent and his wife were the best. We already told Capt. Kent everytime we are here we are booking him. Great time!

    Chris and his deck hand, Mike, were absolutely amazing! Put us on some great fish and were freakin awesome dudes. Super down to earth and made the trip very enjoyable. Will 100% be booking a trip with them again!

    Trip: Gulf Of America Fishing! 🎣🎣

  • ★★★★★
    Had an AMAZING time with a very laid back Captain and beyond helpful deck hand. Great time was had by myself, my better half and my teenage daughter. The weather wasn’t ideal but still had a blast. I HIGHLY recommend booking a trip with the “Broken Tip” charter boat. If you’re looking for drama free great time with awesome people this is the charter to book!

    We had a great time! Caught a big barracuda and my boys loved it. Captain Kent and his mate Bobbi were super friendly and helpful. I'll definitely use them again when I'm in the area!
