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.

    Captain Harold and crew were great. His experience led us to where the fish were biting and we caught many. Dominic and Caden did a great job helping us on our first ever fishing trip

    Captain Harold and the boys were great! The day we had scheduled to go out, the weather was not good and Cap't was great about rescheduling for another day. He got us right on the fish! The first mates were fantastic. We had some small kids with us and they handled them wonderfully. We caught our fill of mackerel and snapper and even lost a bunch (our fault) and had a blast. Highly recommend this boat and crew!

    Outstanding boat captain and deck hand. These guys were the best we have ever had. The rewind will see us again as long as the two guys that took us are there. Great job guys and hope to see you guys soon. I would tell anybody that want to go offshore fishing to book the rewind with these guys.

    Nature didn't give us a calm day ,so we couldn't bottom fish, the Capt. Did take care us and we max out on Spanish mackerel. Had a blast, will do it again

    Harold was very kind and helpful! Everything we hoped for in a fishing trip, met and exceeded our expectations! Our deck hands, though young, acted as if they had done this for decades! Very professional, kind, and knowledgeable beyond their years. If you're a beginner or expert fisherman, this is the boat for you! Plenty of fish, and choices on what restaurants will cook your catch, recommended by the crew. I only wish we had a second day with this crew! Harold knew the seas and location of species we wanted! Highly recommend this boat and Crew, first choice when we come back!!

    Captain Mag was great, very knowledgeable and we felt like we had a friend with us instead of a captain. We felt really comfortable with him and caught a lot of fish and when we go again we will only go with him on his boat. Highly, highly recommended.

    Best time I ever had do tons of bass fishing in indiana. But this took fishing to another level I’m hooked no pun intended. But we go to Destin every year in may and will go out with Captain Harold every time.

    Early morning nearshore private trip, with a total of 4 in our group during the month of September, 2022. Great experience for everyone in our group. Amazing, knowledge and experienced captain and first mate, well worth the trip. Top notch fishing experience with a resulting "better than anticipated" haul of various types of catches. Would 100 percent recommend! We have every intention of booking this Vessel /Captain sometime again in the future when we return to the Destin area for holiday.

    The trip was great. The captain shared before we left the dock that the fishing had declined over the past couple of weeks but he would do his best to find them. We ended up with a good day catching 42 keepers. We would reserve with him again.

    He was the best. He out is in the mackerels in a matter of minutes and keep us on them. He was super nice. His deck hand was by far better than I could possibly describe. One of the other boats said he was the king of mackerels and I believe it is true. Loved the experience and opportunity to go fishing with mr Harold
