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.

    Bill is an excellent captain and under his guidance my 8 year old son and I had a blast fishing. I was hoping for a relaxing first big water trip for my son and Bill delivered exactly that. All fishing and safety equipment was provided and we had great conversations. The only bad part of the trip was that it had to come to an end.

    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.
