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.

    Tony worked hard on a bad weather day for us. Found good spots and caught a lot of fish. Took the sting out of the cold air and high winds. Would definitely rebook with him again.

    Had a wonderful time! Eric was the most knowledgeable marine wildlife expert I’ve ever had. He was awesome with my kids and sooo patient! We caught some good fish, not as many as we would have liked, but it was a great day! Snorkeled over a sunken ship and that was unbelievable. Great time and highly recommend.
