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.

    Had a great outing with Jeremy. Very friendly and informative. Jeremy put us on fish at our first spot and gave useful instruction on how to catch each species. Would definitely use him again if we return to the area.

    Trip: Key Largo Flats Fishing

    Couldn’t ask for a better charter trip. Captain Drew put us on the fish right away. Good time for sure and we will definitely charter with Drew again if we make it back to Key Largo. My wife had wanted to see a manatee while she was in the keys. To top off a wonderful fishing trip we got a front row seat watching the manatees up close at the dock!
