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 the perfect day with Captain Mike! Caught a ton of fish, saw dolphins, and had a great boat ride. Learned a lot, laughed a ton. Highly recommend!

    Captain Mike was great from start to finish. Safety first and took time with both of our boys (10 and 8) to ensure they were both comfortable with the gear we were using and kept us on the fish. He provided a great experience for our family and the boys are already looking forward to our next adventure with Captain Mike!

    Our trip was with Capt Brodie. Pleasant, well intended guy. Our party had 4 teenage boys all proficient fishermen. 2 of 4 spent half the trip watching the other two fish, one would think having 4 rods rigged would be standard. Needless to say we cut the trip short by an hour. If you plan on catching in shore fish bring your cane poles and bobbers, the mangroves are almost the size of a decent mangrove :) All in all blessed to spend the day with my boys and be on the water! Thats why they call it fishing, im sure there are great days to be had.
