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.

    Excellent guide; great trip. Perfect pace and timing. Caught our limit of trout—and a red and some sort of cat.

    Gary made our day! We caught 9 trout and our autistic daughter was treated with patience and kindness. We picked Gary because he indicated having disabilities was “no problem” and he meant it! We saw dolphins, sea turtles, bird island, a mangrove warbler, and the fish were practically jumping on the boat. Captain Gary knows his stuff and was a great tour guide of the Gulf. You won’t be disappointed!
