    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 amazing trip of a lifetime! Captain Augustine was great! He put us right on the fish. Not only did we catch some big fish we saw dolphins and had a great time. He was especially patient and kind with my kids and helped them land some big snapper. This was definitely the trip of a lifetime thanks to a great Captain!!!
