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.

    Andy was great! Got us on the fish and had a ton of laughs. Strongly recommended

    Chris was outstanding as a captain. Aside from is plentiful fishing knowledge and keeping us on bites all day long he was good to talk to and kept us on the fish the entire time we were out there. Even with a shorter half day trip Chris made sure to get us as much fish as possible in the shortened amount of time. The boat was very well kept and gave us many pointers as to how to prepare and cook the fish we caught. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back very soon!

    My wife and I had the pleasure of taking a trip with Captain George. He and his mate Kyle picked us up on time and took us out for a great day of fishing. Weather was definitely sporty but his boat handled it comfortably. They were very well prepared to for everything. Having a boat myself I asked a lot of questions on techniques and such. Captain George was very help and wasn't hesitant to share his knowledge. We had a great time. They were upbeat and personable. We ended up will a cooler full of yellow tail snapper, a nice mutton snapper, a nice fight on a good-sized bonito. They recommended a good place to cook it up for us. I would highly recommend taking a trip with Captain George.
