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 Stratton and his crewman were outstanding ! He setup a great plan for our six hour trip and executed it perfectly. We caught our fill of fish and had a great time doing it . I would recommend him to anyone who wants a great day on the water.

    Dave did an amazing job getting us on the fish. We caught more than we had hoped for. What a treat. Mo was so great to keep my pole baited , which was a full time job until I found my groove and learned out to fish this way. Was a fantastic day. They took great care of us!!
