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.

    Great fishing and boating trip with a lot of fishes, great music, a lot of fun and great memories!!!😎🤩🤘🏻. Thank you Clay for this wonderful experience and for your happiness!

    Trip: OBX Nearshore Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    I’d highly recommend Captain Clay for an inshore fishing trip! We booked a two-hour outing, and from start to finish, Captain Clay was personable, knowledgeable, and experienced. He was right on time and even called ahead to confirm our reservation, which was a nice touch. Since this was our first time fishing inshore, we opted for the shorter two-hour trip. Captain Clay is more accustomed to half- and full-day trips, but he never made us feel rushed. In fact, he offered to extend our time if we wanted and ultimately gave us an additional 20 minutes on the water. It was clear that he genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and personable captain, I’d definitely recommend Captain Clay!

    Bud was awesome. Weather kept changing up on us, and he was able to change plans to get us on fish. My dad and I had a great time and caught solid fish.
