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.

    absolutely the best fishing experience i could have asked for! my son turned 10 and only wanted a guided fishing trip. we found kyle online and the booking process was super simple. he kept in touch every step of the way. once we were out fishing he checked our background knowledge to tailor our experience based on what we already knew and what the main thing we were trying to catch was. he had a ton of equipment so we could easily find the best fish and have the greatest chances of success. he helped cast out to perfect spot and made it almost impossible for my son not to catch a fish. 100/10 would highly recommend! i’ve already got my next trip lined up 😄
