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.

    Trip: 4-8 Hour Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We went into this excursion with a "whatever" mentality, believing that even a bad day fishing is better than doing anything else. This crew worked hard! Put us on the fish and made it all so easy. Great communication before and during the trip too. Fun day with Grandpa, two dads and three little girls learning the joy of fishing. Crew very attuned that we had kids and really worked hard to pay them special attention and make sure they enjoyed the day. We would charter these guys again.
