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.

    Out guide, Kevin, did an excellent job, and I would highly recommend him. There were four of us in our group including 2 experienced anglers, one semi experienced, and one who was very inexperienced. Kevin did a great job keeping everyone involved, baited, and altered approaches based on skill level. He worked very hard to put us on fish. He even cleaned our fish at the end of the trip. Again, I would higly recommend.

    Shawn was absolutely amazing! I took my two kiddos out, 10 and 11 years old, and he made sure they caught ALL the fish! My daughter put us all to shame, I lost count of how many she caught. They had the best time and Shawn was patient and helpful the whole time. We will absolutely be coming back for Shawn to take us out again.

    Captain Derick is the absolute best!!! He was hell bent on us catching a shark or we weren’t leaving that boat! He was funny, and great with our boys, and made their experience the best first experience they could ask for. Thank you for making this fishing trip our best family trip ever!!!
