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.

    Derek is awesome. Hard day of fishing but wasn’t due to lack of effort

    Trip: Lake Walter E. Long Bass Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Had a blast out on the lake today with Aaron. We hooked three bass our first half hour and it only got better from there. Even though my wife and I have virtually no fishing experience, Aaron was very patient and instructive. We fished in several different spots, targeted a variety of catch and got a tour of Decker Lake in a fast boat. Great guy.
