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.

    Perfect captain for me. He was just personal enough, but didn’t talk your head off. He was focused on fishing and helped us make the most out of an overcast day.

    My wife and I had an excellent experience with Captain Alex. We were looking for a half day trip and booked with him not having any personal reference from someone we knew. What a good luck of the draw. He not only put us on fish but was continually working bait and rigs. Couple that with his good nature and pleasant conversation and you have a great day on the water. We will definitely be booking him for our next trip in Key Largo.
