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.

    Went out with Robert for a 4 hour trip targeting speckled trout. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and knew exactly what to do throughout the whole day to keep us on the fish almost the entire time. Aside from the fishing we also just had a great time in general on the boat through the whole trip. We will be booking again on our future trips to Tarpon for a deep water excursion.

    Fish didn’t really want to cooperate, but thats fishing. Captain Nick was awesome and did his best. He was super chill and laid back. Lets just say we kept him busy cause our skipping under docks needs some work!

    Captain Tommy is awesome! I searched through all the guides for a Tampa Bay fishing trip. Decided to pick Tommy because he would take take kids. And while my son and I aren't kids, I figured he must be a patient man. Boy was I right! We aren't novice fisherman by any means, but I don't particularly like a judgmental guide. Captain Tommy is great, gave us lots of options. I specifically said we just wanted action, and we sure got that. Seven hour charter under the absolute worst conditions! Absolute low tide with a full moon cycle at the start. We ended up with 52 fish landed.

    Matt was on top of my trip and super flexible. I had to change a date last minute and he made it work for me. He set me up with Captain Adam who was a phenomenal guide. 12/10 would do this again and recommend to any one who’s interested in catching some awesome fish!

    It was a great trip. Three of us fished comfortably for a half day. Mother Nature provided the fish, and Nick provided a great atmosphere. Easy to talk to and gave some good local recommendations, will look to book with Nick again in the future.

    We had a great morning on the water with Captain George. He put us over fish right away. First cast went into the cooler! He was very knowledgeable and courteous. We enjoyed our time on his boat!

    We had the opportunity to take our four kids on their first fishing charter while visiting Sarasota. We booked with Ultimate Fishing Adventures and Henry was our guide. I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience. Henry was amazing with the kids. He put them on fish right away and our son landed a snook on the first cast. Henry even got us up close to some manatees which was so cool. I absolutely recommend this group for your charter.

    We had an amazing time, didn’t get on the fish like we had hoped but still had a blast. That’s why they call it fishing.

    We had an absolutely amazing time with Captain George! We had several other fishermen passing through that were going on about how it was a “tough day” but not with Captain George!! He put us right on the fish! He was always aware of his surroundings, watching the schools of bait fish, and making sure we were in the most optimal spot. He was very knowledgeable about all of the species we caught throughout the day. We were having such a blast that we added an extra hour to onto our trip, which is when he put us on to the BIGGEST Spanish Mackerel I’ve ever seen!! Just to top it off, he was also very kind and caring. He never lost patience with me when he kept having to cast my pole into difficult spots, and he made sure to remind us to drink plenty of water and reapply sunscreen. At the end of the trip, as he was cleaning our fish, I began to overheat and he knew EXACTLY what to do. He stayed calm, let us stay for a while as I regained my strength, and even checked on me later on in the day. What an amazing experience, captain, and day!! 10/10! We will be fishing with Captain George when we are back this way, and will be referring all of our friends and family!
