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.

    You guys we had THE BEST fishing excursion with Capt Alex Hare! Not only did he put us on all the red snapper, vermillion and mangrove snapper, but we caught grouper and trigger fish as well. Capt Alex educated us on why we couldn’t keep any of the grouper or trigger fish (either under the required size limit or out of season) and he was so incredibly good at teaching our children, 10 and 12, how to properly fish (adults too!!) Alex is patient and very knowledgable and just an all around good guy. We brought back 18 fish that he expertly filletted for us too, including the 29” red snapper my son caught! You cannot go wrong booking your charter fishing excursion with him! And hey Alex, Go Gunners!!
