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.

    My party had a terrific time! James is one of the best guides I’ve had the pleasure to meet and fish with. I recommend him without any reservation, and confident that regardless of your skills and abilities, James can and will help you and your group have the best trip possible.

    Trip: Tortuga Flats Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    James is a professional fishing guide and not only put us right on the fishe everywhere we went but also made it fun. My 3 daughters and I were all novice fishermen but he had us reeling in fish like we were naturals. Highly recommend!

    Trip: Tortuga Flats Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    There is no such thing as a guaranteed day of good fishing. You have to have the right tackle, patience, spot and timing. Capt James has everything listed with experience to boot! Had an amazing time in fairly tough fishing conditions but Capt James persisted till we found the fish, can’t recommend enough!

    James was a Pro with a lot of knowledge of all the bay systems. He was great to my two boys and we had a fun day on the water because of his effort.
