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.

    This Charter was a BLAST! I booked this 8 hour charter for my husband’s birthday. His biggest dream since a little kid was to go out deep-sea fishing for big game fish specifically a king mackerel! Well they sure make my husband’s dream come true!!! We both caught our limit on what your allowed to take home (and more which we had to throw back) of that’s right…yep you guessed it….HE CAUGHT KING MACKEREL!!!! From our first step on the boat the captain and his deckhand made us feel so comfortable, like you’re just hanging out fishing with a couple of friends! They answered all my questions which trust me was a lot! They are both so friendly, down to earth, very hardworking and just a lot of fun! From start to finish the captain always made sure we were in the best spot to catch fish and the deckhand made sure we didn’t have to take care of anything except for having a great time. We had a blast with him the entire 8 hours! He took care of everything. He made sure all the poles stayed in the water and was right there bringing the fish on board when we got them to the boat and he even cleaned, cut and bagged them all up when we got to the dock. He didn’t sit down not one time! We would recommend these 2 guys to anybody who is looking for a deep-sea charter trip!!! They are the best and I promise you won’t be disappointed!!! If you want to catch big game fish and have the experience of a lifetime then these 2 are the charter to call! Thanks for making my husbands birthday unforgettable and the best birthday ever,! We will be repeat customers!
