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.

    Captain Chad took my wife and I out for a four hour inshore fishing trip around the Biloxi Bay. We had a great time, and caught a variety of species. Chad is a very knowledgeable local fisherman who caters to all angler levels. We learned so much about the ecosystem around the Biloxi MS gulf coast, and how to use different fishing techniques. Spotted some dolphins too. We left with a cooler full of sheepshead, black drum and southern flounder filets. Thanks again Chad!
