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.

    My wife, grandson and I had a wonderful trip with Brett. Brett was ready to go waiting for us at the marina st the appointed hour His boat is amazing. Over the course of the morning he put us on speckled trout and black drum. The big specks avoided us but the black drum made up for it. You never know what the fish are going to do. Brett worked diligently to ensure we had a successful day. What is more important is that he catered to our grandson who had never been bay fishing before. We have great memories now due to Brett’s skill and knowledge of the water. We will use him again and refer him to others.
