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.

    We had a great experience. Hank and Patrick were very helpful and knowledgeable. There were 3 generations of men on this trip and we all had a blast.

    Trip: 4 Hour PM Fishing Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Our fishing trip was just amazing!!! The entire experience was top notch. Patrick and Hank went above and beyond to make sure myself and my dad had an amazing time and that we hauled in some great fish. They knew all the hot spots and they knew how to get the mon the hooks. I can't say enough good things about Harry, his boat and his team. I would recommend this to everyone and this will be a trip that we will be doing with them often!
