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.

    We had an incredible day fishing with Tony! We booked an 8 hour fishing day and all of our expectations were exceeded, especially for a windy day. He was professional, but also down to earth, easy to chat with and made sure we had everything we needed for a successful fishing day! We are already looking for our next trip so we can come back and fish again with him.

    Trip: Red Snapper / Reef Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    My son and came down to celebrate his high school graduation. Tony (Antonio) met us on the dock with a hand shake and a smile. We had an awesome day catching Mahi, black fin tuna, jack and bunch of other fish. Depending on the fish that we were targeting we would either troll or drift with live bait. Boat was in great shape, Tony was very nice and knowledgeable. To top off the trip we were troilibg and hooked up with either a sail fish or white marlin. Didn't confirm because we didn't land. But a great way to end the day. Thanks Tony for making it special
