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.

    Absolutely great experience!!! My 81 year old Dad, my two sons ages 25 and 24 and myself 57 had the time of our lives. It was all our first times. We caught so many fish, so many different kinds of fish. I was truly impressed with Brad and Ben. They took care of my Dad with his age, they were funny, they were professional, they schooled us on fishing and what we were catching. We watched them cut up the fish, then showed us where to go to have them cook it up for us and it was the best tasting fish we've ever had. I highly recommend them and can't wait to go back for another phenomenal experience.
