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 time fishing. The boat was amazing and the captain and his mate lots of fun and made our entire trip enjoyable. I strongly recommend using this charter service. They kept us in the loop from the moment we made our reservation.

    Been on a lot of fishing trips both sport and commercial and this trip was hands down the best one ever. Craig is one of a kind and knows his shit. We slayed the crab and bottom fish both limited out in minutes it seemed like. Great guide

    Trip: Garibaldi Bottom Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Great time, great fishing. Ezekiel was great, knew exactly what to and where to fish. We did “Not just go on a boat ride.” We caught a Yellow tail. Which was the icing on the cake.

    Captain Izzy is a great way to explore the Oregon fishing, crabbing and clamming experiences. He is a great guy to spend a day around enjoying the bounties of the area around Tillamook.
