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.
What month is best for spanish mackerel fishing in South Carolina?

Captain Ronnie and his shipmate, we're knowledgeable, helpful, relatable, reliable, professional, and funny. They made great conversation while putting us on the fish. Cross was johny on the spit to pull the fish off the hook, fix snags, and bait hooks, all while helping our 10 year old fishing partner enjoy his time. We caught a shark, countless bass and a large Red drum fish. We all had a wonderful experience. We made fish tacos from part of our catch I highly recommend.

We had a fun time with Mark on our fishing trip! Mark was very friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely go out with him again!

Ryan We had a great time. The king tide in mother nature made it hard challenging fishing day. Ryan accommodated me as I have some physical disability. He was very knowledgeable, very helpful. And showed us some interesting sights along the way. The weather was terrific. We will definitely do this again. Me and my wife, hopefully in the next week. Thank you again

I would absolutely recommend Captain Ryan and will most definitely use him again. I am sure there are other good boat captains in the Murrells Inlet area but iam sure that they are not better than Ryan. Our group of 4 were originally scheduled for a 4-hour trip on Friday afternoon but the weather turned out to be pretty dicey. Ryan made time for us and allowed us to reschedule for Sunday morning. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable about the local area and an excellent boat handler. We all enjoyed learning from him as he taught us Pennsylvania guys how to fish the SC way. As we say in the Navy BZ Ryan for a job well done. Looking forward to fishing with you again. All the Best
