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 jigging charter in Ship Island?

    We had an awesome trip with Captain Leo. He put us on fish early and often. We had novice to advanced fishermen in the boat and he catered to us all. Definitely would book again.

    It was the highlight of my trip and the best fishing experience I’ve ever been on. I would highly recommend going out with captain Leonard, he was very helpful and helped me catch a good bit of fish. My only regret is not booking sooner.

    I came down to Gulfport from Atlanta for labor day vacation and hired Captain Leonard to take us fishing. Leonard took great care of us and we caught a ton of really great fish. He gave us tips on being better fisherman as well. I highly recommend Capt. Leonard for your next fishing trip.
