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.

    Brain was a great Captain. He was very knowledgeable of the area, put us on some great fish. He was really good for having four teenage boys on his boat. We will use them again.

    We had an epic offseason trip with Matt down in Charleston. We were in town for a wedding and had a tight morning slot — Matt was able to accommodate and was super upfront with the fact that the fishing hadn't yet heated up in Feb. We hit a number of spots but given the cold front and it being high tide, didn't have much luck. The Twin Vee cat hull is super smooth and gets you there fast and dry, and it's totally tricked out with trolling motor, restroom and all. Thanks Matt, will be back!
