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.

    Spencer did wonderful with my family. Got us on a variety of species topped off with an epic tarpon fight right into the sunset! He went above and beyond for us and knew exactly how to get it done!

    I am caught some great fish. Mahi Mahi and a Wahoo! Great trip. Joel wasn’t able to join us but he had a buddy named Johnny assist us for the day. A bunch of dumb guys trying to catch fish. Johnny was very good at what he does. Just not good at directions! 10/10

    We loved our trip with Captain Johnny! He was super experienced and explained everything nicely. We all had a great time fishing for yellow tail and went home with enough fish for dinner! The weather was great, the music was great and the captain was great! We will be back!
