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.

    We had the most wonderful experience with Captain Marc (and Brenda). My son and I went on a half-day excursion in Novemeber during our Thanksgiving trip and it was such a great bonding time for the two of us. Captain Marc is super generous, knowledgable and patient. We highly recommend him and his fishing guidance:). My son was particularly excited about having his trout cleaned and getting to serve it to us that evening. All around A+.
