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.

    Carlos was awesome! Punctual, informative and a super nice guy. We caught fish and had a great time. He was very patient with my kids and made sure they were having a good time.

    Top notch charter! Ricky was experienced and knows the waters. Guide handled the work and I caught the fish. Couldn’t ask for more. Oh, and if you’re open to taking some fishing tips on how to real in the big ones, you’ll probably land more fish.

    My son and I fished with Captain Matt for two days. He's super knowledgeable, and knows the lake very well. We had an amazing time!! Caught a pile of Peacocks, some clown knives, striped bass, largemouths, and cichlids. I would definitely recommend Matt to anyone looking for a fun day on the water.
