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.

    Awesome and once in a lifetime. Mark and his crew were SO much fun and we got more than we bargained for. Mark put us on the fish when nobody near us were catching anything. Hopefully if we vacation in Fort Lauderdale again, he’s still doing charters!

    Trip: Nearshore/Offshore Sportfishing

    We had an excellent day with Justin. Our target species was Peacock Bass and as promised, Justin delivered. Both of us were novices to fly fishing but Justin was patient and coached us to ensure we were landing fish, and we did!! All day long. Great time. We are looking to coming back next year and hooking up with Justin.

    We didnt get to meet Captain Ron but we had a great time with his employee Captain Lucas. Lucas did a fantastic job of explaining what he was doing each step of the process. The water was rough and the wind was blowing extremely hard but the big boat kept us comfortable. Even through the tough weather conditions, Lucas put us on the fish and we had a blast! Would highly recommend them. Dont let Lucas young age fool you. He is great at what he does. William & Jessica
