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.

    Best charter ever been on. Had to throw this one back. I would definitely do this again.

    Trip: Grand Traverse Bay Fishing Trip

    Had a great day on the water with Butch. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and put us right on the bass. Caught some fish and learned a few new techniques too. The boat and gear were top-notch, and the whole trip was relaxed and fun.

    Tim is a great captain. He put us in the best position to catch fish even though conditions were not ideal. He made it a great trip for me and my daughter.

    Trip: Lake Macatawa Trophy Sheepshead

  • ★★★★★
    When you consider a fishing charter, you should consider the abilities and experience of the Captain himself. Captain Jeremee has a wealth of knowledge that will benefit you and your entire group on a trip with him. He studies water intensely, water and weather conditions, the fish behavior, the up to the minute conditions and applies a tremendous skill set to meet your needs. Jeremee works well with even the young an inexperienced fisherman. Would you rather have Deshawn Watson or Jared Goff as your quarterback? Jeremee is a standout elite captain that will be my quarterback for many years to come. Please take it from an experienced fisherman that has had many outings with other Captains across the country including salt water excursions. Captain Jeremee is the real deal!
