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.

    Brandon was the perfect guide with our crew of kids (ages 9-13). Brandon and Chris were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and patient. They kept everyone engaged and entertained for our 2 hour trip, which can be tricky with kids. Big plus that he is Purdue guy too!

    Had an excellent morning catching multi-species of fish. First time ocean fishing with my four sons during spring break. 4 hour trip start to finish yielded a total of 40ish fish. Highly recommended. Capt Cory cleaned our catches right at the dock.
