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.

    We had captain Andy for a night time hunt. He was very knowledgeable and had a great attitude! Will definitely be coming back to bow fish again!

    Our guide Andy was excellent. He was very quick to point out species we can shoot and the ones we can’t shoot. He did a great job getting us on top of them! Also his patience with our people who have never done it was amazing. He would keep us on top of the same fish until they hit it! 10/10 would recommend these guys to anyone. We will definitely be using them again next time.

    We had a great time! I didn’t know rays were so resilient that you could get them with an arrow and the would heal within a few days. Our guide Colby was awesome. He found a bunch of rays for us and helped us after each catch. Hew was awesome!

    We were booked with Captain Joey, but we were guided and taken care of by Captain Mindy. I’m sure Joey is great, but I can’t imagine it going any better than it did with Mindy. She took great care of us, she was very patient with our kids (12&13), and helped us every step of the way. My wife and kids have never bow fished. I haven’t done so in 25+ years. So she basically had a boat full of newbies. We caught several! We missed several more! It was a lot of action and we enjoyed being out there at night for a change. Then my daughter caught the fish of the night! A very nice ray. My son had to shoot back up to make sure we landed it, so that made it even cooler. We would definitely take this trip again. If you get to go with Mindy that’ll be a bonus!
