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.

    Started out as a beautiful day, then the wind picked up out of the East, this was not what the weatherman forecast. Greg took us to many places to fish, but with the wind it was a challenge. We caught a few junk fish then one of us caught a really nice Red. That was the best of the day. We all (3) had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the area. At the end of the day Capt. Greg was like family and we all decided to make this a yearly thing with Capt Greg, hopefully the fish and the weather will cooperate.

    TJ does a tremendous job of guiding!! My son is beginning to fly fish and he was very patient and helped him improve a lot in a short period of time. I would highly recommend T.J!

    Amazing day out on the water with captain Greg. Not often you get to fill up the freezer with silver trout AND catch a couple monster redfish. Will be booking with him again next time we go out

    Greg was a terrific guide and put us on lots of fish (over 100 trout). Although it was an older boat it was spacious and large enough to make the fishing very enjoyable. His experience and patience was outstanding.
