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.

    Fantastic first time trip! Caught some awesome fish plus a Shark!! The fellas and I will never forget the memories made and the times we had. The Captain and Gibbs were fantastic and set up over the Big Ones, in less than favorable conditions! We will be booking another adventure soon! Thank you so much to everyone who made it happen

    Trip: Nearshore Beachfront Blast

  • ★★★★★
    My fishing trip with Captain Kent and his wife Bobbi was an incredible experience from start to finish. They both made us feel welcome and comfortable, with Captain Kent expertly guiding us to the best fishing spots, while Bobbi shared her knowledge of the area and tips helped us reel in some impressive catches, we had everything we needed. Not only did he take us to prime fishing spots, but he also shared delicious recipes for preparing our catch, making the experience even more special. Along the way, he pointed out dolphins playing in the water and fighter jets take off from the airport. Their teamwork and hospitality truly set this trip apart, and it was a pleasure to spend the morning with such a friendly and knowledgeable duo on the water.

    We had a great time with Captain Andrew and team catching fish and navigating the waves. We were put right on the best areas to catch the snapper we were after. Also, when we forgot a jacket onboard in all the excitement of disembarking, Captain Andrew went out of his way to get it back to us. Thank you for helping make my husbands birthday one to remember!

    Captain Walt and Keith were fantastic! Extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful, plus great to crack a joke and share a laugh with. The waves were choppy when we went out and Walt & Keith guided us through it and took us around the area when we eventually got too sick haha. Highly recommend! I’ll be coming to them again in the future.

    Bradley was very good with making these 10-15 year old boys make sure they knew what to do and had a good time of fun. He made sure they each had a rod, baited. Nd could cast it where they needed. For two first time fisherman, they had a blast. The 10 yr old catch the most fish. We got back to the condo, and he told his dad let’s go fishing tomorrow. Thanks for a great first trip, saltwater fishing for theses boys.

    Captain Seth was awesome and so was the deck hand Tanner. Caught our snapper limit at the first stop. Put us on fish at every single stop. Boat is great. 100 degree day and the AC kept the cabin 70 degrees. Will definitely book with them again.

    Trip: Deep Sea Bottom Dwellers Trip

  • ★★★★★
    If you don’t book with Jayson you shouldn’t even come to Destin. You might as well cancel your entire trip if you don’t book with Jayson. I’d rather spend 4 hours fishing with Jayson than 7 days at the beach because I’d spend those 7 days seeing Jayson crash through the waves catching fish as big as a small child. If it ain’t Jay-son I ain’t gonna pay-son!
