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 Jorge was great. He got us on the fish fast. I think we hit our limit on trout in less than an hour. It wasn’t the best day for fishing, but Jorge tried all day! He had a clean, good running boat and did a great job cleaning our fish too! I would definitely call him as a guide again.

    Augustine was more than fantastic! He was extreamly helpful, relaxed and made sure everyone was having a good time. He didn't give up until we found some fish. We were so happy with him we decided to book again! Working with Captain Experiences was easy and quick :)
