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.

    Captain Tim was a great host. He knows the back bays like they are his backyard. Took us to many different spots and we were able to get into same great fish. Tim was also great with my 14, 12, and 7 year old kids. Would call Tim again for a trip next time we are in town.

    My daughter, son in law, and I had an amazing trip today with Captain Tim. We caught a few snook and snapper and even had a few to take home to eat. Captain Tim kept us on good fishing spots. He was super helpful and was fun company on the boat. We will be returning for sure!
