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.

What month is best for on a bottom fishing charter in Panama City Beach?

    Great people! Was very helping on the trip even with 3 kids. Always on point to keep bait on the line to keep the kids going! Very choppy but was all in all a great trip and do it again!

    On August 1st. My 15 year old son and I went out with Captain John John on a 3 hour shark trip. We caught 9 sharks and multiple other fish. We had a great time. Captain John John works hard and knows what he’s doing. He was very safety conscious and I would absolutely recommend him. Hopefully we will be able to catch up with him on our next trip.

    Great trip, captain was very accommodating for me and my friends. He made the day fun even though the fishing wasn’t great. Kept trying to get us on the fish even though the bite was tough.

    Trip: Dolphin Spotting and Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great time! Most of us had never been fishing offshore before, but we were all able to snag a few Red Snapper and Beeliner. We got our quota of Snapper in the 6 hours that we were out there. For future excursions, the one lesson I'd take away is to try to buy live bait in the morning if you have an afternoon trip. We didn't have any live bait to fish with, but still had a great time and plenty of success!

    Captain Allen is a common sense good guy. He will give you the experience you seek. My son and I had a blast and we're comfortable the whole time. I highly recommend him if you want a laid back but still adventurous time. 5 stars Caught an 8 foot Bull Shark then released. Our choice. Captain Allen is top notch and knows HIS business. Learned it from his dad.
