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.

    Captain Blake was amazing, he put us on big fish early in the morning and we caught fish the entire time we were out. He was super patient with my 9 year old grandson and 83 year old father. We caught some really big Reds, 2 of which we had to tag, lots of drum including the 2 trophies we had to catch and release of 32 & 40 inches. He will be our Captain of choice for future trips. He exceeded my expectations by miles.

    Captain Cody took my son and me out on a Friday morning. We caught a variety of fish including redfish, sheephead, flounder, speckled trout, black drum, and golden grouper (see photos). My son and I are a couple of novices. Cody was super patient with us. He helped us bait hooks, get lines untangled, remove pesky hardheads, etc. without ever seeming frustrated with us. He cleaned our fish the way we wanted. He took the time to teach us several tricks for catching fish. Overall it was a great experience and we plan to use him again in the future.

    Captain Robert and his First Mate Jason were very knowledgeable and professional. They kept us entertained while going from from one fishing spot to another. Captain Robert’s experience and knowledge of the Gulf help him to put us on the fish that we wanted to catch.on a scale of 1-10 he gets a solid 10. We will fish with him again.

    Captain Mike was incredible! I booked this fishing trip for my husband and brother in law as a surprise for Father’s Day and he was very patient and thorough with me. (I knew nothing about fishing). He is also very kind and his fishing skills are top tier! And best of all he definitely helped them catch some pretty nice size fish! We will definitely be booking Captain Mike again.

  • ★★★★★
    Storm the day before put the bite off, but we caught lots of Catfish, several near 5 lbs, so my grandson enjoyed that. Capt Mike worked for his money, constantly repositioning the boat to our advantage & taking us out to try for Sharks upon our request. He kept the language clean, which, knowing alot of Sailors, was a bonus...He also made sure my grandson had an approved life vest & hooked and passed a couple of the bigger fish to him. Overall, I'd charter with him again for sure. A+++
