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.

    My second trip with Carlo, and another fantastic time! I highly recommend Carlo for Charleston fishing, he knows his way around!

    Trip: 4 HR Inshore/Harbor/Jetties AM

  • ★★★★★
    Cpt Daniel is a great guide. He put us on fish at every location, meaning he worked hard to get fish in the box. We ended the morning with a nice catch of reds and specs, exactly what we were targeting. A veteran, we also got to chatting about our years of service and experiences. It was a great morning, indeed!
