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.

    Eric is a great guide. Really knows his guiding craft well. Put us on fish in difficult weather conditions. Exceeded our expectations for the day. Highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed.

    We had an amazing time with Captain Jason. He was able to adapt location and gear to make sure we caught fish (in our case mangrove snapper and snook) . Great conversation and company which was as important to us as the fish we caught. We are both at beginner level and Jason made us feel well taken care of. He cleaned the fish and recommended a great local restaurant which cooked our catch very well. We would take a trip with Jason again for sure.

  • ★★★★★
    Fishing was tough today with wind and a lack of current, but we managed to grab a few snook away from the hungry lemon sharks and some jack crevalle. Captain Nick was a great, easy-going quide, and I look forward to fishing with him again perhaps when Mother Nature is a little more accomodating!

    Mike S. | March 25, 2025

    Trip: Flats fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Mike was a great Captain for us. We had a tougher day due to some wind and colder temps but Mike kept us moving to new spots and got us on a variety of fish in the back country. He was extremely professional, very knowledgeable about local history, flora and fauna which made for great conversation between catches. I would book him again in a heartbeat. Great time in the Everglades for my 14 yr old and I. Thanks, Mike!

    We had a great time with Captain Joey. We are a family of 4 withlittle to no experience fishing. He was so great at helping our kids and teaching them to cast and reel. He was super patient which was so appreciated. He was very knowledgeable about the Everglades area and the fish that we could catch. I would highly recommend him for anyone interested in a fishing adventure in the area. You will definitely enjoy the adventure!

    Captain Chris gave us an amazing trip!!!! My family of 5 had experience ranging from years of fishing to never holding a rod, but he helped everyone as needed, setting everyone up with the right rod and bait for their ability and we all caught a wide variety of fish at several spots. He also recommended a great restaurant to cook our catch for lunch. Super cool guy, very knowledgeable, a great time!
