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.

    Had a great trip with a few friends. Trolling for the fish we initially wanted to catch was limited due to seaweed, but the captains were knowledgeable and adjusted for the conditions, and did their best to put us on some nice fish. It was clear they wanted us to catch fish and did everything they could to make our trip fun.

    My sister Tracy and I went out fishing on the Sanctuary. The captain, Mark and his mate, Niles we spectacular. We had a fabulous day, caught yellowtail snapper, mackerel and mutton snapper, Niles and Mark were patient and kind, played great music and put us on the fish! We caught 12 in all, had to throw the groupers back (not in season). Then Niles cleaned the fish and we took 1/3 to a restaurant which cooked them for us, yummy. The rest were share with Captain Mark and Niles. I would highly recommend this team. Thank you guys.
