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.

    Had a great time on the lake. The weather was a little off but Capt. Joe knew all the right spots to go. We will definitely go again when the weather gets better.

    I had a fun early morning fishing trip with Joe! He knows the lake like the back of his hand so he took me to some of his best spots! The fish weren’t biting too much in a number of the spots but were were able to catch a handful in the end. He taught me about a number of jigs and baits used for this time of year the Bass are biting on, which was awesome to learn! Overall a great experience and definitely would recommend him to anyone looking to go catch some Bass and for a great fishing experience!
