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.

    My family had a great time fishing with Captain Kevin! He seems very knowledgeable about the area and we had some great catches! He taught my six year old how to cast and showed my two year old the bait and fish they caught. We stopped to get some shells for my little one to throw into the water too. He was awesome baiting our lines and taking fish off! We had a great time! Thank you Captain Kevin!!

    Captain Melissa was vert nice, professional, and polite. She worked very hard to get us scallops, including finding most of them :-). She moved when she needed to to find us the most productive zones, for which we are very grateful. Two of my party have never scalloped before and thanks to Melissa, they are hooked. We shall return!!
