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.

    Amazing day. Friendly, helpful captain who also found some great fishing. I learned about the yellow brick road today. If not sure what that is, ask Captain Frank to show you. Have fun,

    Trip: Ocean Thrills with Captain Don

  • ★★★★★
    On behalf of Warren Herndon, Wayne Hall and myself (Dexter Hudson), I would like to report that we had an outstanding time on our fishing excursion with Captain Don. Captain Don was very enjoyable to talk and visit with and he also patiently answered all of our questions, explaining what he was doing. And he worked like a Trojan baiting and putting new hooks and leaders on our poles after sharks robbed us of our catch when we reeled in too slowly. We did manage to reel in 22 good-sized Yellow Tail snapper and were able to return home as conquering heroes with meat for the table. Don not only cleaned the fish but provided several tasty recipes. The gentlemen did the cooking, the wives joined us in devouring the meal and we all had big smiles on our faces.. Thanks Captain Don! If or when we get back, you'll be the man we call!

    We had a good trip with Capt. Don. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We did have to cut our trip short, as one of our party got sea sick. Thanks Capt. Don. (He is also a veteran).

    Captain Don was awesome! If you are truly wanting to get out and do some fishing he is your guy. He got us on fish right away and was very clear on what he wanted us to do. My Father, brother and me had a really good day hanging out with him. We would do it again.

    Don, Thank you so much for the amazing fishing experience! From the beginning to the end it was wonderful!!! Thank you for letting us switch out your reel to a lefty and then teaching me how to use it!!!!! Thank you for your patience with me on an open face reel! I wouldn’t have caught the Lane Snapper without you beside me! You gave me the boost to get it done! I can’t believe the huge fish that Eric caught! You even taught us and guided us how to fish for bait! We tried to absorb all of you amazing knowledge! Your Captain guidance and interaction was unlike no other fishing extravaganza we have been on! “If you want to catch fish and be with a experienced fisherman , then go with Captain Don!” Listen and Learn! He is the BEST! Thank you so much from, The Zinn’s

    Captain Don is a great captain! Very knowledgeable and friendly. We left with plenty of fish when it seemed like the rest of the marina had little luck. Would definitely book with captain don again

    Captain Don’t was top notch all around. I took my 14-year old son offshore and even though we booked a full day, my son got sick and Captain Don was extremely accommodating and understanding. We took us back and was able to book the 2nd half the next afternoon. He showed true professionalism and patience with my son (14 year olds ask a billion questions yet think they know everything). I would highly recommend him!!

    Great captain for a rough seas trip! Captain Don was very accommodating when the seas were 3-5’ waves and we were debating whether or not we would go! We ended up leaving a little later to see if the winds called down. He navigated us professionally through some pretty rough seas and we fished in 3 different spots. 2 of us were pretty sick and he was very kind and compassionate….the show must go on though he fished with the other 2 people in our group and we caught lots of yummy fish! We took his suggestion and went to Lazy Days where they cooked it all up! Highly recommend this boat!
