Fishing Guide Services VS Owning your own boat

Fishing guide services have been around for many years, in fact many guide services have been in business in excess of 20 years, on lakes and deep sea fishing, they are very good at what they do for a living. Most fishing guide services supply the boat, gas reels, and tackle. When they take you out on deep sea fishing trips, they will cover your meals as well, it's all included in their fee's on a daily basis. I have heard so many people say that some fishing guide services are very pricey, but you have to weigh out their expenses for you to have a great time on the water. They must have a good dependable boat, did you know that most good fishing boats carry a price tag of $30,000 to over $100,000 dollars.

Now, let's rig up their boat with tackle, and rod and reel setups, depending on how many clients are able to fish on the boat each day, and you can see that by the time they have their guide permits, fully equipped boat and knowledge of where the fish are on the lake or ocean, can easily tie up over $50,000 dollars just to get started in their business. Fishing guide services are available worldwide and their fee's start at around $250.00 to over $500.00 dollars per day for 2 people for 8 hours depending on what type of fishing you are planning on doing. A lot of fishing guide services offer lodging too.

Now that you have a good knowledge as to what these fishing guide services offer and their cost, let's discuss your investment to buy your own boat to go fishing. You need to determine what type of fishing you are planning on doing, is it bass fishing, crappie, catfish, stripper or walleye fishing, or are you one of those that like to go deep sea fishing? Storms pop up on a moment's notice, lakes and oceans can get rough, so are you getting a large enough boat to keep you safe out there? If this is your first time to buy a boat, then you need to consider all options, you have to weigh out what you are going to spend, usually around $10,000 to over $40,000 dollars for the boat and trailer alone. Add tackle, life jackets and rain gear, you will be looking at an extra $2,000, if you are planning to finance your new boat, figure in interest with your monthly payment and for how many years. Do not forget to weigh in cost of gas and possible repairs for your vehicle and boat. You can tie up an extra $6,000 per year minimum.

The big question to ask yourself, how many times a year will I actually have time to take my boat to the lake to go fishing. When I get there, will I be able to figure out where the fish are going to be on the lake, how deep are they going to be, and what baits will they be biting?  So many people spend the big bucks for their own boat and they only use it 4 to 8 times a year. Before this happens to you, call some fishing guide services to get pricing. Hiring professional fishing guide services can save you thousands a year, and you will have a blast.  So catch more fish on a regular basis using fishing guide services.
